Using FC-Redirect with CFS Regions The Fibre Channel redirect (FC-Redirect) feature uses Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) regions to distribute the FC-redirect configuration. By default, the configuration is propagated to all FC-Redirect capable switches in the fabric. CFS regions can be used to restrict the distribution of the FC-Redirect configuration. Note Using FC-Redirect with CFS regions is an optional procedure. To learn more about CFS regions, refer to Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide. Guidelines for Designing CFS Regions For FC-Redirect To design CFS regions for FC-Redirect, follow these guidelines: • Ensure the CFS region configuration for FC-Redirect can be applied to all FC-Redirect based applications. The applications include Cisco SME, Cisco DMM and any future applications. • Ensure all FC-Redirect capable switches, that are connected to the hosts, targets and the application switches (switches with MSM-18/4 modules in a cluster), are configured in the same region. Refer to the "FC-Redirect Restrictions" section on page 2-20 for switches that are not capable of FC-Redirect. • If there are multiple Cisco SME clusters in a region, a target can be part of the SME configuration in only one cluster. To change the target to a different cluster, the configuration in the first cluster must be deleted before creating the configuration in the second cluster. • All switches in the region must have a common VSAN. • For existing SME installations, refer to "Configuring CFS Regions For FC-Redirect" section on page F-5 for steps on migrating to CFS regions. • Remove all instances of the previous configurations when a switch is moved to a region or moved out of a region. To configure a CFS region, refer to the "Configuring CFS Regions For FC-Redirect" section on page F-5. Installing Smart Card Drivers The smart card reader must be connected to a management workstation that is used to configure Cisco SME. The smart card driver and the smart card drivers library file must be installed in the workstation. These are found on the Fabric Manager Installation CD.
