About DPVM Database Distribution

Using the CFS infrastructure, each DPVM server learns the DPVM database from each of its
neighboring switches during the ISL bring-up process. If you change the database locally, the DPVM
server notifies its neighboring switches, and that database is updated by all switches in the fabric.
If fabric distribution is enabled, all changes to the configuration database are stored in the DPVM
pending database. These changes include the following tasks:
•
•
•
These changes are distributed to all switches in a fabric when you commit the changes. You can also
discard (abort) the changes at this point.
See the
Tip
database.
