Locking the Fabric
The first action that modifies the database creates the pending database and locks the feature in the entire
fabric. Once you lock the fabric, the following situations apply:
• No other user can make any configuration changes to this feature.
• A copy of the configuration database becomes the pending database along with the first change.
Committing the Changes
If you commit the changes made to the pending database, the configuration is committed to all the
switches in the fabric. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout the fabric
and the lock is released. The configuration database now contains the committed changes and the
pending database is now cleared.
To commit role-based configuration changes using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select Users and Roles in the Physical Attributes pane. Click the
Roles CFS tab in the Information pane.
You see the screen shown in Figure 39-5.

Step 3 Click Apply Changes to save this change.
Step 4 Set the Config Action drop-down menu to commit to commit the roles using CFS.
Step 5 Click Apply Changes to save this change.
