Designating a Fabric as Global Policy Master

Designate a fabric in the global namespace as the global policy master.

About this task

A security policy domain is a group of fabrics that share data and use the same security policies to control access to the data. A security policy domain consists of a global policy master and zero or more member fabrics that constitute a global security policy namespace. Before you can create security policies, one fabric must be set as the global policy master, and security policies must be created and managed only on the fabric that is designated as the global policy master.

The primary fabric is auto-designated as the global policy master. Hence, it is not required to explicitly designate a fabric as a global policy master.

NOTE
Every 15 minutes, the policies created on the global policy master are mirrored on the member fabrics in the same global namespace.
