Resetting the Version Number and Time Stamp

When a change is made to any information in the Secure Fabric OS database
(zoning, policies, passwords, or SNMP), the current time stamp and a version
number are attached to the Secure Fabric OS database.
This information is used to determine which database is preserved when two or
more fabrics are merged. The database of the fabric with the oldest time stamp is
kept. When merging fabrics, ensure that the time stamp of the database you want
to preserve is non-zero, then set the time stamp of all other fabrics to zero. To
ensure that the time stamp of a fabric is non-zero, modify a policy and enter the
secpolicysave or secpolicyactivate command.
To display the version number and time stamp of a fabric:
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log into the Primary FCS switch as Admin.
2. Enter the secstatsshow command.
To reset the time stamp of a fabric to zero:
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log into the Primary FCS switch as Admin.
2. Enter the secversionreset command.
100
If the fabric contains no FCS switch, you can enter the secversionreset
command on any switch.
