Enter the secPolicyActivate command to activate and save the new order. FCS policy distribution The FCS policy can be automatically distributed using the fddCfg --fabwideset command or it can be manually distributed to the switches using the distribute -p command. Each switch that receives the FCS policy must be configured to receive the policy. To configure the switch to accept distribution of the FCS policy, see "Database distribution settings" on page 140. Switches in the fabric are designated as either a Primary FCS, backup FCS, or non-FCS switch. Database distributions may be initiated only from the Primary FCS switch. FCS policy configuration and management is performed using the command line or a manageability interface. Only the Primary FCS switch is allowed to distribute the database. The FCS policy may need to be manually distributed across the fabric using the distribute -p command if there is no support for automatic distribution in a mixed environment with 5.3.0 and pre-5.3.0 switches. Since this policy is distributed manually, the command fddCfg --fabwideset is used to distribute a fabric-wide consistency policy for FCS policy in an environment consisting of only Fabric OS 6.0.0 and later switches. FCS enforcement for the distribute command is handled differently for FCS and other databases in an FCS fabric: • For an FCS database, the enforcement allows any switch to initiate the distribution. This is to support FCS policy creation specifying a remote switch as Primary. • For other database distributions, only the Primary FCS switch can initiate the distribution. There is an FCS enforcement at the receiving switch, so the switch will verify whether the distribution is coming from the Primary FCS switch before accepting it. Distribution is accepted only if it is coming from a Primary FCS switch. Distribution of FCS policy can still be accepted from a backup FCS switch if the Primary is not reachable or from a non-FCS switch if the Primary FCS and none of the backup FCS switches are reachable. To learn more about how to distribute policies, see "ACL policy distribution to other switches" on page 142. NOTE: The FCS policy distribution is allowed from a switch in the FCS list. However, if none of the FCS switches in the existing FCS list are reachable, receiving switches accept distribution from any switch in the fabric. Local switch configuration parameters are needed to control whether a switch accepts or rejects distributions of FCS policy and whether the switch is allowed to initiate distribution of an FCS policy.
