” on
page 76).
You can modify the FCS policy through the following methods:
Using the
secpolicyfcsmove
command to change the position of a
switch in the list, as described in “
Changing the Position of a Switch Within
the FCS Policy
” on page 55.
Using the
secfcsfailover
command to fail over the Primary FCS
switch to the next switch in the list, as described in “
Failing over the Primary
FCS Switch
” on page 56.
Using the
secpolicyadd
command to add members, as described in
Adding a Member to an Existing Policy
” on
page 78.
Using the
