Comparing Database Differences
You can compare the DPVM databases as follows:
• Use the dpvm database diff active command to compare the active DPVM database with the DPVM
config database.
switch# dpvm database diff active
Legend: “+” New Entry, “-” Missing Entry, “*” Possible Conflict Entry
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- pwwn 44:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 44
* pwwn 11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 11
• Use the dpvm database diff config command to compare the DPVM config database with the active
DPVM database.
switch# dpvm database diff config
Legend: “+” New Entry, “-” Missing Entry, “*” Possible Conflict Entry
---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ pwwn 44:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 44
* pwwn 11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 22
• Use the show dpvm pending-diff command (when CFS distribution is enabled) to compare the DPVM
pending database with the DPVM config database.
To add pending database entries to the DPVM config database, follow these steps:
Step 1 switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# dpvm distribute
Enables CFS distribution.
Step 3 switch(config)# dpvm database
Accesses the DPVM config database.
Step 4 switch(config-dpvm-db)# pwwn 44:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 55
switch(config-dpvm-db)# pwwn 55:22:33:44:55:66:77:88 vsan 55
Adds two entries to the DPVM config database.
