New Features in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.1(3a) Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc.com. High Availability KMC Enhancements in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3a) enable the KMC to be used in high availability environments where unattended operation is a requirement. The KMC can be configured to use an Oracle Enterprise database with Data Guard for redundancy. Both the primary KMC and secondary KMC are configured to point to the redundant database. Oracle maintains the key store synchronization and database availability. A pair of KMCs is also required for high availability key management. Each SME cluster is aware of both the primary and secondary KMC. In the event that a SME cluster cannot reach the primary KMC, it automatically switches to the secondary. While using the secondary KMC, the SME cluster periodically checks to see if it can re-establish communications with the primary. The cluster resumes using the primary KMC once it is accessible again. Cisco Fabric Manager Release 4.1(3a) New Features Cisco Fabric Manager Release 4.1(3a) includes new features and enhancements.
