Chapter 12 Initial Configuration NTP Configuration Send documentation comments to [email protected] Note A warning displays if you do not enable CFS for all switches in the fabric for this feature. Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Check the Master check box for the switch that you want to act as the merge master for this feature. Click the switch value in the Config Action column. A drop-down menu appears. Select Commit. Click the Servers tab in the Information pane. You see the configuration for this feature based on the master switch. Modify the Master configuration as needed. For example, right-click the value in the Master column and select Create Row to create a server for NTP. a. Set the ID, and the Name or IP Address for the NTP server. b. Choose a Mode radio button and, optionally, check the Preferred check box. c. Click Create to add the server. Fabric Manager sends the request to the master switch. Click the CFS tab and check the Last Results column for the new entry. It has a pending status. From the CFS tab, set the Config Action column to commit to distribute the feature change through the fabric. Fabric Manager only changes the status to running when commit, clear, or abort is selected and applied. Note Fabric Manager will not change the status to pending if enable is selected, because the pending status does not apply until the first actual change is made. Step 12 Click the Apply Changes icon to commit the configuration changes for that feature and distribute the changes through CFS, or click Undo Changes to discard the changes for that feature. Committing NTP Configuration Changes When you commit the NTP configuration changes, the effective database is overwritten by the configuration changes in the pending database and all the switches in the fabric receive the same configuration. When you commit the NTP configuration changes without implementing the session feature, the NTP configurations are distributed to all the switches in the fabric. Discarding NTP Configuration Changes After making the configuration changes, you can choose to discard the changes or to commit them. In either case, the lock is released. Releasing Fabric Session Lock If you have performed an NTP 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.
