Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations

1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the iscsiCfg
--show transaction command to display the pending transactions:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show transaction
Active transaction ID is: 10490 and the owner is: CLI.
The following groups have been modified:
1. Auth. group.
2. Target/LUN group.
3. DD/DDSet group.
3. Enter the iscsiCfg --commit all command to save the transactions:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --commit all
This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in fabric.
This could be a long-running operation.
Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y
The operation completed successfully.
4. Enter the iscsiCfg --show transaction command to verify that the changes were committed:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show transaction
There is no active transaction
Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations
When you merge two fabrics with different iSCSI configurations, a conflict will result. If there is a
conflict, the database will not be merged and you must resolve the conflict. The iscsiCfg
--show
fabric command displays the “out of sync” state. The rest of the switches will function normally,
however, since there is no segmentation of E_Ports as a result of discovery domain set database
conflicts.
1. Connect to the switch and log in.
2. Enter the iscsiCfg
--show fabric command to display the “out of sync” state:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric

Aggregated iSCSI database state for fabric: Out of Sync
3. On each switch enter the iscsiCfg --show ddset command to find the switch that has the
database you want to use:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show ddset
Number of records found: 1
Name: ddset-engineering
State/Status: Enabled/Committed
Num. members: 1
4. Enter the iscsiCfg --commit all command with the -f option on the switch with the database
you want to use fabric-wide:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --commit all -f
This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in fabric.
This could be a long-running operation.
Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y
The operation completed successfully.
