Note These two procedures do not start a session and can only be issued in the local switch. DPVM Database Distribution If the DPVM database is available on all switches in the fabric, devices can be moved anywhere and offer the greatest flexibility.

The Cisco SAN-OS software uses the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure to achieve this requirement (see Chapter 13, "Using the CFS Infrastructure"). 28-8 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
