Committing Changes
To apply the pending domain configuration changes to other SAN switches in the VSAN, you must commit
the changes. The pending configuration changes are distributed and, on a successful commit, the configuration
changes are applied to the active configuration in the SAN switches throughout the VSAN and the fabric lock
is released.
To commit pending domain configuration changes and release the lock, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Commits the pending domain configuration
changes.
switch(config)# fcdomain commit vsan
vsan-id
Step 2
Discarding Changes
At any time, you can discard the pending changes to the domain configuration and release the fabric lock. If
you discard (abort) the pending changes, the configuration remains unaffected and the lock is released.
To discard pending domain configuration changes and release the lock, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Discards the pending domain configuration
changes.
switch(config)# fcdomain abort vsan vsan-id
Step 2
Clearing a Fabric Lock
If you have performed a domain configuration task and have not released the lock by either committing or
discarding the changes, an administrator can release the lock from any switch in the fabric. If the administrator
performs this task, your pending changes are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
The pending changes are only available in the volatile directory and are discarded if the switch is restarted.
To release a fabric lock, enter theclear fcdomain session vsan command in EXEC mode using a login ID
that has administrative privileges.
switch# clear fcdomain session vsan 10
Displaying CFS Distribution Status
You can display the status of CFS distribution for allowed domain ID lists using the show fcdomain status
command.
switch# show fcdomain status
CFS distribution is enabled
