After you choose a key manager, the key manager cannot be changed. You should be logged into the
appropriate role to select or edit any key manager settings.

Using FC-Redirect with CFS Regions

The Fibre Channel redirect (FC-Redirect) feature uses Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) regions to distribute
the FC-redirect configuration. By default, the configuration is propagated to all FC-Redirect capable
switches in the fabric. CFS regions can be used to restrict the distribution of the FC-Redirect
configuration.
Note Using FC-Redirect with CFS regions is an optional procedure.
To learn more about CFS regions, refer to

Guidelines for Designing CFS Regions For FC-Redirect

To design CFS regions for FC-Redirect, follow these guidelines:

Installing Smart Card Drivers

The smart card reader must be connected to a management workstation that is used to configure
Cisco SME. The smart card driver and the smart card drivers library file must be installed in the
workstation. These are found on the Fabric Manager Installation CD.

Ensure the CFS region configuration for FC-Redirect can be applied to all FC-Redirect based
applications. The applications include Cisco SME, Cisco DMM and any future applications.
Ensure all FC-Redirect capable switches, that are connected to the hosts, targets and the application
switches (switches with MSM-18/4 modules in a cluster), are configured in the same region.
Refer to the "FC-Redirect Restrictions" section on page 2-20
FC-Redirect.
If there are multiple Cisco SME clusters in a region, a target can be part of the SME configuration
in only one cluster. To change the target to a different cluster, the configuration in the first cluster
must be deleted before creating the configuration in the second cluster.
All switches in the region must have a common VSAN.
For existing SME installations, refer to
page F-5 for steps on migrating to CFS regions.
Remove all instances of the previous configurations when a switch is moved to a region or moved
out of a region.
