secFCSFailover
Enables a backup FCS switch to take over as primary FCS switch.
Synopsis secfcsfailover
Description Use this command to enable a backup FCS switch to take over as the primary FCS switch.
After this command is issued, the primary FCS switch aborts its current transaction and moves the
backup FCS switch to the top of the FCS list. The former primary FCS switch then activates the new
policy set and the former backup FCS switch becomes the new primary FCS switch in the fabric.
The purpose of this command is to recover from a scenario in which all available access to the primary
FCS switch is lost, such as the Ethernet and serial connections.
