Fabric Lock Override
If you have performed a device alias 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.
Tip The changes are only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch
is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked device alias session, use the clear device-name
session command in EXEC mode.
