Committing The Iscsi-Related Configuration; Resolving Conflicts Between Iscsi Configurations - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Committing the iSCSI-related configuration

After you have configured iSCSI-related configuration parameters, including iSCSI VTs, discovery domains,
discovery domain sets, and CHAP authentication, after they have been defined, you must save them
through a commit process. Each set of changes, additions, and deletions is called a "transaction."
Review the current transaction before committing the changes; once the changes are committed, they are
enforced fabric-wide.
The commit process option triggers propagation of the database to all iSCSI-capable platforms in the
fabric and commits the changes.
IMPORTANT:
DDSet creation, and so on—before issuing the iscsiCfg
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the iscsiCfg
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show transaction
Active transaction ID is: 10490 and the owner is: CLI.
The following groups have been modified:
1. Auth. group.
2. Target/LUN group.
3. DD/DDSet group.
3. Enter the iscsiCfg
switch:admin> iscsicfg --commit all
This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in
fabric.
This could be a long-running operation.
Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y
The operation completed successfully.
4. Enter the iscsiCfg
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show transaction
There is no active transaction

Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations

When you merge two fabrics with different iSCSI configurations, a conflict will result. If there is a conflict,
the database will not be merged and you must resolve the conflict. The iscsiCfg
command displays the "out of sync" state. The rest of the switches will function normally, however, since
there is no segmentation of E_Ports as a result of discovery domain set database conflicts.
1. Connect to the switch and log in.
2. Enter the iscsiCfg
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric
