To cancel the copy operation initiated by another switch, use the following command:

switch# system startup-config abort

To cancel the operation locally and throughout the fabric, enter Ctrl-c on the console or telnet session

of the initiator switch.

Saving Startup Configurations in the Fabric

As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a), you can use Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) to instruct the

other switches in the fabric to save their configurations to their local NVRAM using the following copy

switch# copy running-config startup-config fabric

If any remote switch in the fabric fails to complete the copy running-config startup-config fabric process,

the request is discarded on the initiator switch and the failure errors are displayed in the initiator switch CLI

You can use the show cfs application command to verify that the Fabric Startup Configuration Manager

(FSCM) application is enabled.

switch# show cfs application

The startup configuration file can be locked by applications on the switch. To display locks on the startup

configuration file, use the following command:

switch# show system internal sysmgr startup-config locks

To release a lock on the startup configuration file, use the following command:

switch# system startup-config unlock 10
