CFS Example Using DCNM for SAN

</h1>
<a name="wp1527537"> </a><p class="pBody">
This procedure is an example of what you see when you use DCNM-SAN to configure a feature that uses 
CFS.

</p>
<a name="wp1523893"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Detailed Steps
</h2>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1527543"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Select the CFS-capable feature you want to configure. For example, expand a <b style="font-style: normal" class="cBold">VSAN,</b><b style="font-style: italic" class="cBold"> </b>and then select 
<b class="cBold">Port Security</b> in the Logical Domains pane. 
</li>
<a name="wp1527544"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the port security configuration for that VSAN in the Information pane.

</p>
<a name="wp1527545"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">CFS </b>tab.
</li>
<a name="wp1527546"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the CFS configuration and status for each switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1527547"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the Feature Admin drop-down list, select<b class="cBold"> enable</b> for each switch.
</li>
<a name="wp1527548"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Repeat step 3 for all switches in the fabric.
</li>
<a name="wp1527549"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> A warning is displayed if you do not enable CFS for all switches in the fabric for this feature.

</p>
<a name="wp1527550"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Check the<b class="cBold"> Master</b> check box for the switch to act as the merge master for this feature.
</li>
<a name="wp1527551"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If you click any other tab in the information pane and then click the CFS tab, the Master check 
box will no longer be checked. DCNM-SAN does not cache the CFS Master information. 

</p>
<a name="wp1527552"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the Config Action drop-down list, select <b class="cBold">commit Changes </b>for each switch that you enabled for 
CFS.
</li>
<a name="wp1527553"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Servers tab </b>in the Information pane.
</li>
<a name="wp1527554"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the configuration for this feature based on the master switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1527555"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Modify the feature configuration. For example, right-click the name in the Master column and select 
<b class="cBold">Create Row </b>to create a server for NTP.
</li>
<div class="pSmartList2"><ol type="a" class="pSmartList2">
<a name="wp1527556"> </a><li class="pSmartList2">Set the ID and the Name or IP Address for the NTP server.</li>
<a name="wp1527557"> </a><li class="pSmartList2">Set the<b class="cBold"> Mode </b>radio button and optionally check the <b class="cBold">Preferred</b> check box.</li>
<a name="wp1527558"> </a><li class="pSmartList2">Click <b class="cBold">Create</b> to add the server.</li>
</ol></div>
<a name="wp1527559"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the<b class="cBold"> Delete Row </b>icon to delete a row.
</li>
<a name="wp1527560"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
If you make any changes, the status automatically changes to<span style="font-weight: bold"> </span><b class="cBold">Pending</b>.

</p>
<a name="wp1527561"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Commit CFS Pending Changes</b> icon to save the changes.
</li>
<a name="wp1527562"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The status changes to<span style="font-weight: bold"> </span><b class="cBold">Running</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1527563"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the Config Action drop-down list, select <b style="font-weight: bold" class="cBold">abortChanges</b><span style="font-weight: bold"> </span>for each switch that you enabled for CFS .
</li>
<a name="wp1527564"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> DCNM-SAN does not change the status to pending if <b class="cBold">enable </b>is selected, because the pending 
status does not apply until the first actual change is made.

</p>
<a name="wp1527565"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Apply Changes</b> icon to commit the configuration changes for that feature and distribute the 
changes through CFS.
</li>
</ol></div>
<a name="wp1527567"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> When using CFS with features such as DPVM and device alias, you must select <b class="cBold">commit </b>at the end of 
each configuration. If the session is locked, you must exit the feature by selecting <b class="cBold">abort</b>.

</p>
<a name="wp1527569"> </a><p class="pBody">
To configure the master or seed switch for distribution for each feature, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1527570"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Choose the feature that needs a merge master for CFS. For example, expand expand<b class="cBold"> Events </b>and select<span style="font-weight: bold"> 
</span><b class="cBold">CallHome </b>from the Physical Attributes pane. 
</li>
<a name="wp1527571"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Information pane shows that feature including a CFS tab. 

</p>
<a name="wp1527572"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b style="font-weight: bold" class="cBold">CFS</b><span style="font-weight: bold"> </span>tab to display the CFS state for each switch in the fabric for that feature.
</li>
<a name="wp1527573"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Check the Master column check box for the switch to act as the merge master for this feature.
</li>
<a name="wp1527574"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Apply Changes</b> icon to select this switch as master for future CFS distributions.
