Command
Step 1

Discarding fctimer Changes

After making the configuration changes, you can choose to discard the changes by aborting the changes
instead of committing them. In either case, the lock is released.
To discard the fctimer configuration changes, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# fctimer abort

Fabric Lock Override

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.
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 fctimer session, use the clear fctimer session
command.
switch# clear fctimer session
