Committing fctimer Changes
When you commit the fctimer configuration changes, the effective database is overwritten by the configuration
changes in the pending database and all the switches in the fabric receive the same configuration. When you
commit the fctimer configuration changes without implementing the session feature, the fctimer configurations
are distributed to all the switches in the physical fabric.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Discarding fctimer Changes
After making the configuration changes, you can choose to discard the changes by discarding the changes
instead of committing them. In either case, the lock is released.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Overriding the Fabric Lock
If you have performed a fctimer fabric task and have forgotten to release 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 changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
