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.

This command can only be issued in secure mode and only on a backup FCS switch.

Operands none

Examples To enable a backup FCS switch to take over as the primary FCS switch:

switch:admin> secfcsfailover

This switch is about to become the Primary FCS switch.

All transactions of the current Primary FCS switch will be aborted.

ARE YOU SURE (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

WARNING!!!

The FCS policy of Active and Defined Policy sets have been changed.

Review them before you issue secPolicyActivate again.
