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:
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:
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.
Tip The pending changes are only available in the volatile directory and are discarded if the switch is
restarted.
To release a fabric lock, enter the clear 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.
