Modifying The Zone Database - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Zones

Modifying the Zone Database

Ypou can commit or discard changes to the zoning database in a VSAN.
Modifications to the zone database is done within a session. A session is created at the time of the first
successful configuration command. On creation of a session, a copy of the zone database is created. Any
changes done within the session are performed on this copy of the zoning database. These changes in the copy
zoning database are not applied to the effective zoning database until you commit the changes. Once you
apply the changes, the session is closed.
If the fabric is locked by another user and for some reason the lock is not cleared, you can force the operation
and close the session. You must have permission (role) to clear the lock in this switch and perform the operation
on the switch from where the session was originally created.
