Description Use this command to add or remove LSAN tags, or to display existing tags in the configuration.
LSAN tagging optimizes an FC router's behavior based on a specified subset of LSANS. This feature
improves scalability and performance related to LSAN zone size and the speed with which they are
imported or exported.
This command supports two types of LSAN tags: enforced tags and speed tags.
• Enforced LSAN tags filter zones accepted by the FC router from the edge fabric by matching the
zones to the configured tags. Only matching zones are accepted into the local database for
export and import. For example, if you configure an enforced LSAN tag "BRCD" on a router, only
zones with names starting with "lsan_BRCD" are accepted. If multiple tags are configured, any
matching zones are accepted. A maximum of eight LSAN enforce tags are configurable per FC
router switch.
• A speed tag is a flag to indicate to the FCR that the targets in the LSANs matching the tag need
to be imported permanently when host and target are zoned together, even if the host is not
present. This mechanism facilitates a speedy discovery process by reducing instances of
failure related to timeouts.
Once the devices that belong to the target edge fabric are defined as speed LSANS, the import or
export can occur with a minimum amount of delay when hosts reboot or are added to the zone
database.
The following restrictions apply when configuring LSAN tags:
• The FCR must run Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later.
• The switch must be disabled when you configure enforce tags. Speed tags can be configured
while the switch is online.
• You must change the LSAN name in the edge fabric or the backbone fabric and propagate the
LSAN to the FCR. Note that enforce tags are not supported in the backbone fabric.
• The speed tags must be set in all related FC routers in order for import and export to proceed
correctly. However, only LSANs on the target edge fabric must append the tag.
When executed without operands, fcrlSan displays the command usage.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
