• “Activating Changes to Secure Fabric OS Policies” on page 3-27
Simultaneously save and implement all the policy changes made since the last time changes were
activated. The activated policies are known as the active policy set.
• “Adding a Member to an Existing Policy” on page 3-27
Add one or more members to a policy. The aspect of the fabric covered by each policy is closed to
access by all devices/switches that are not listed in that policy.
• “Removing a Member from a Policy” on page 3-28
Remove one or more members from a policy. If all members are removed from a policy, that aspect
of the fabric becomes closed to all access. The last member of the FCS_POLICY cannot be
removed, because a primary FCS switch must be designated.
• “Deleting a Policy” on page 3-28
Delete an entire policy; however, keep in mind that doing so opens up that aspect of the fabric to all
access.
• “Aborting All Uncommitted Changes” on page 3-29
Abort all the changes to the Secure Fabric OS policies since the last time changes were saved or
activated.
• “Aborting a Secure Fabric OS Transaction” on page 3-29
From any switch in the fabric, abort a Secure Fabric OS-related transaction that has become frozen
(such as due to a failed host) and is preventing other Secure Fabric OS transactions.
Each of these tasks is described in the subsections that follow.
Saving Changes to Secure Fabric OS Policies
You can save changes to Secure Fabric OS policies without activating them by entering the
secPolicySave command. This saves the changes to the defined policy set.
To save changes to the Secure Fabric OS policies without activating them
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log in to the primary FCS switch as admin.
2. Type the secPolicySave command.
N
ote
Until the secPolicySave or secPolicyActivate command is issued, all policy changes are in volatile
memory only and are lost if the switch reboots or the current session is logged out.
