To enable the v2 mode in FC-Redirect, use the
fc-redirect
version2
enable command in configuration mode. To disable
the v2 mode in FC-Redirect, use the
no form of the command.
This command is used to increase scalability of FC-Redirect.
Disabling v2 mode after it is enabled in the fabric is not recommended.
However, if you want to disable v2 mode, you cannot disable it until all
FC-Redirect configurations are deleted. FC-Redirect configurations can be
deleted only by deleting all corresponding application configurations.
The MDS switches not running Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1) and later cannot be added to the fabric after the v2 mode is
enabled. If the switches are added, all further FC-Redirect configuration changes will fail across the fabric. This could
lead to traffic disruption for applications such as IOA, SME, and DMM.
Use the
show
fc-redirect
configs command to see the list of applications
that create FC-Redirect configurations.
If v2 mode is enabled in the fabric and you want to move a switch to
a different fabric, use the
clear
fc-redirect
decommission-switch command before moving the
switch to a different fabric. If the mode is not enabled, all switches in the
new fabric will be converted to v2 mode automatically.
Note
|
Ensure that there are no fabric changes or upgrades in progress.
For more information see
Software Requirements.
Use the show
fc-redirect
peer-switches command (UP state) to see all the
switches in the fabric.
