Clearing Learned Entries

You can clear DPVM entries from the active DPVM database (if autolearn is still enabled) using one of
two methods.
To clear a single autolearn entry using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand Fabricxx> All VSANs and then select DPVM from the Logical Attributes pane.
Step 1
You see the DPVM configuration in the Information pane.
Click the Actions tab and select clearOnWWN from the Auto Learn Clear drop-down men.
Step 2
Step 3 Check the clear WWN check box next to the WWN of the autolearned entry that you want to clear.
Step 4 Click CFS and select commit to distribute these changes or abort to discard the changes.

DPVM Database Distribution
If the DPVM database is available on all switches in the fabric, devices can be moved anywhere and offer
the greatest flexibility. To enable database distribution to the neighboring switches, the database should
be consistently administered and distributed across all switches in the fabric. The Cisco SAN-OS
software uses the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure to achieve this requirement (see
Chapter 13, "Using the CFS
