fcrlsanmatrix --help

Description Use this command to create, modify, remove, and manage Logical SAN (LSAN) Zone bindings between edge

fabrics or between FC routers. LSAN Zone bindings specify pairs of edge fabrics or FCRs that can access each

other and share LSAN Zone and device database information.

This command follows a transaction model. Modifications to the LSAN fabric matrix or to the FC router matrix are

saved nonpersistently in a cache until you save the changes persistently with the --apply option.

When used with the -lsan option, this command manages the LSAN matrix information. An LSAN fabric pair binds

two edge fabrics specified by their Fabric IDs. Every paired edge fabric implies two-way communications. The

paired edge fabrics have access only to the edge fabrics associated with them by this command. The edge fabrics

that are not specified in the LSAN fabric matrix have access to the remaining unspecified edge fabrics. Using this

information, the FCR switch maintains the remote LSAN Zone and the device state database only if it is associated

with its local edge fabrics.

For example, if the edge fabrics with FIDs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are online, all edge fabrics have two-way communication.

This is the default behavior. If you pair the edge fabrics 1 and 2 with the --add -lsan command, the default access

between the edge fabrics is changed as follows:

• Fabric 1 can access only fabric 2.

• Fabric 2 can access only fabric 1.

• The fabrics 3, 4, and 5 can access each other, but cannot access Fabric 1 or 2.

The LSAN matrix information is automatically distributed to all switches in the fabric. The FIDs entered are not

required to be online when you set up the LSAN fabric matrix.

When used with the -fcr option, this command manages the FC router matrix. This database consists of FC router

pairs that can talk to each other. All edge fabrics connected to a defined pair of FCRs are allowed to import devices

to each other.
