Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Commits the RSCN timer changes.
switch(config)# rscn commit vsan timeout
Step 2
Discarding the RSCN Timer Configuration Changes
If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration database remains unaffected
and the lock is released.
To discard RSCN timer configuration changes, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Discards the RSCN timer changes and clears the
pending configuration database.
switch(config)# rscn abort vsan timeout
Step 2
Clearing a Locked Session
If you have changed the RSCN timer configuration and have forgotten to release 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 changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
The pending database is only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch
is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked DPVM session, use the clear rscn session vsan command
in EXEC mode. The following example shows how to clear the RSCN session for VSAN 10:
switch# clear rscn session vsan 10
Displaying RSCN Configuration Distribution Information
The following example shows how to display the registration status for RSCN configuration distribution:
switch# show cfs application name rscn
Enabled : Yes
Timeout : 5s
Merge Capable : Yes
Scope : Logical
A merge failure results when the RSCN timer values are different on the merging fabrics.Note
The following example shows how to display the set of configuration commands that would take effect when
you commit the configuration:
