Managing Secure Fabric OS 9. Determine which switches you want to designate as Primary FCS and Backup FCS switches for the merged fabric, then modify the FCS policy for each existing fabric to show these switches as the Primary FCS and Backup FCS switches. Ensure that all the FCS policies are an exact match; they must list the same switches, with the switches identified in the same manner and listed in the same order. If a fabric has become segmented with Secure Mode enabled but no FCS switches available, enter the secmodeenable command to modify the FCS policy. This is the only instance in which this command can be entered when Secure Mode is already enabled. 10. Modify the SCC policy on the final Primary FCS switch (the one that will succeed as the Primary FCS switch in the final merged fabric) to include all switches that are being merged. 11. Ensure that the final Primary FCS switch has the desired Secure Fabric OS policy set, Zoning configuration, password information, and SNMP community strings. For information about managing Zoning configurations, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide (AA-RS26C-TE). 12. Verify that the fabric that contains the final Primary FCS switch has a non-zero version stamp, by logging into the fabric and entering the secstatsshow command. If this fabric does not show a non-zero version stamp, modify a policy and enter either the secpolicysave or secpolicyactivate command to create a non-zero stamp. Set the version stamp of the other fabrics to zero by logging into each fabric and entering the secversionreset command. 13. If fabrics are being rejoined after a segmentation, enter the switchdisable and switchenable commands on each switch that was segmented from the Primary FCS switch. For each ISL connected to the segmented switch, enter the portdisable and portenable commands on both ISL ports. 14. Physically connect the fabrics. The fabrics automatically merge and the Secure Fabric OS configuration associated with the Primary FCS switch that has the NON-zero stamp is kept. Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide 105

Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide

Determine which switches you want to designate as Primary FCS and Backup

FCS switches for the merged fabric, then modify the FCS policy for

each

existing fabric to show these switches as the Primary FCS and Backup FCS

switches. Ensure that all the FCS policies are an

exact

match; they must list

the same switches, with the switches identified in the same manner and listed

in the same order.

If a fabric has become segmented with Secure Mode enabled but no FCS

switches available, enter the

secmodeenable

command to modify the

FCS policy. This is the only instance in which this

command can be entered

when Secure Mode is already enabled.

10.

Modify the SCC policy on the final Primary FCS switch (the one that will

succeed as the Primary FCS switch in the final merged fabric) to include all

switches that are being merged.

11.

Ensure that the final Primary FCS switch has the desired Secure Fabric OS

policy set, Zoning configuration, password information, and SNMP

community strings.

For information about managing Zoning configurations, refer to the

StorageWorks Fabric Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide

(AA–RS26C–TE).

12.

Verify that the fabric that contains the final Primary FCS switch has a

non-zero version stamp, by logging into the fabric and entering the

secstatsshow

command. If this fabric does not show a non-zero version

stamp, modify a policy and enter either the

secpolicysave

secpolicyactivate

command to create a non-zero stamp. Set the

version stamp of the other fabrics to zero by logging into each fabric and

entering the

secversionreset

command.

13.

If fabrics are being rejoined after a segmentation, enter the

switchdisable

and

switchenable

commands on each switch that

was segmented from the Primary FCS switch. For each ISL connected to the

segmented switch, enter the

portdisable

and

portenable

commands on both ISL ports.

14.

Physically connect the fabrics.

The fabrics automatically merge and the Secure Fabric OS configuration

associated with the Primary FCS switch that has the NON-zero stamp is kept.
