Fabric OS Command Reference 1011

53-1003131-01

secPolicyActivate

Saves and activates the Defined Security Policy Set.

SYNOPSIS secpolicyactivate

DESCRIPTION Use this command to activate the current defined security policy to all switches in the fabric. This

activates the policy set on the local switch or all switches in the fabric depending on the fabric-wide

consistency policy.

If there are changes to the SCC, DCC, or FCS policies in the current CLI or API transaction that have not

been saved to the Defined Security Policy Set, then this command saves the changes to the Defined

Security Policy Set first, and then activates it. If there are no changes, but the Defined Security Policy Set

differs from the Active Security Policy Set, then the Defined Security Policy Set is activated. If there are

no changes and the Defined Security Policy Set is the same as the Active Security Policy Set, then

nothing is done.

After activation the defined policy set becomes the Active Policy Set.

Use secPolicyShow to display the members of an existing policy in the Active or Defined Security Policy

Sets.

NOTES The behavior of this command is the same for tolerant and strict fabric-wide consistency.

When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the Primary FCS switch.

Any modifications to the SCC, DCC, and FCC DB are saved and activated. When secPolicyActivate is

issued after the secPolicySave command, it might fail.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.
