Disabling DPVM Database Distribution

To disable DPVM database distribution to the neighboring switches, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# no dpvm distribute
switch(config)# dpvm distribute

Locking the Fabric

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

•
To lock the fabric and apply changes to the pending database, follow these steps:
Command

switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# dpvm database
switch(config-dpvm-db)#
Step 3
switch(config-dpvm-db)# pwwn

Step 4
switch(config-dpvm-db)# exit
switch(config)#
Step 5
switch(config)# dpvm activate

Committing Changes

If you commit the changes made to the configuration, the configuration in the pending database are
distributed to other switches. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout
the fabric and the lock is released.
To commit the pending database, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# dpvm commit
