Chapter 11 I Commands islb distribute Send documentation comments to [email protected] islb distribute To enable Cisco Fabric Services for iSCSI Server Load Balancing (iSLB) configuration, use the islb distribute command. To disable the iSLB configuration distribution, use the no form of the command islb distribute no islb distribute Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords. Defaults Disabled. Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines You can use the islb distribute command to enable the distribution of iSLB configuration information to other Cisco MDS switches in the fabric using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure. You can synchronize the iSLB configuration across the fabric from the console of a single MDS switch. Note The only initiator configuration that is distributed throughout the fabric using CFS is a statically mapped, iSLB initiator configuration. Dynamically mapped and statically mapped iSCSI initiator configurations are not distributed. iSCSI initiator idle-timeout and global authentication parameters are also distributed. If you are using both iSLB and inter-VSAN routing (IVR), ensure that the following conditions are satisfied; otherwise, traffic may be disrupted in the fabric. • You must enable both features on at least one switch in the fabric. • You must configure and activate zoning from the switch for normal zones, IVR zones, and and iSLB zones. Examples The following example enables iSLB configuration distribution. switch# config t switch(config)# islb distribute The following example disables iSLB configuration distribution. switch(config)# no islb distribute OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference 11-103
