Locking the Fabric

The first action that modifies the existing configuration creates the pending configuration and locks the
feature in the fabric. Once you lock the fabric, the following conditions apply:

Committing Changes

To apply the pending domain configuration changes to other MDS 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 MDS switches throughout the VSAN
and the fabric lock is released.
To commit pending domain configuration changes and release the lock, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# fcdomain commit vsan 10

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, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# fcdomain abort vsan 10

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.
The pending changes are only available in the volatile directory and are discarded if the switch is

restarted.
To release a fabric lock, issue the clear fcdomain session vsan command in EXEC mode using a login
ID that has administrative privileges.

A pending configuration is created by copying the active configuration. Modifications from this

the active configuration (and other switches in the fabric) or discard them.
