Call Home Configuration Distribution
Call Home Configuration Distribution
You can enable fabric distribution for all Cisco MDS switches in the fabric. When you perform Call
Home configurations, and distribution is enabled, that configuration is distributed to all the switches in
the fabric.
You automatically acquire a fabric-wide lock when you perform the first configuration operation after
you enabled distribution in a switch. The Call Home application uses the effective and pending database
model to store or commit the configuration changes. When you commit the configuration changes, the
effective database is overwritten by the configuration changes in the pending database and all the
switches in the fabric receive the same configuration. After making the configuration changes, you can
choose to discard the changes by aborting the changes instead of committing them. In either case, the
lock is released. See
Chapter 13, “Using the CFS Infrastructure” for more information on the CFS
application.
Note The switch priority and the Syscontact name are not distributed.
