Committing the Changes
If you commit the changes made to the pending database, the configuration is committed to all the
switches in the fabric. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout the fabric
and the lock is released. The configuration database now contains the committed changes and the
pending database is now cleared.
To commit role-based configuration changes, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# role commit vsan 3
Discarding the Changes
If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration database remains
unaffected and the lock is released.
To discard role-based configuration changes, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# role abort
Enabling Distribution
To enable role-based configuration distribution, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# role distribute
switch(config)# no role distribute
Clearing Sessions
To forcibly clear the existing role session in the fabric, issue the clear role session command from any
switch that is part of the initiated session.
Caution
Any changes in the pending database are lost when you issue this command.
