Role Distributions Chapter 39 Configuring Users and Common Roles Send documentation comments to [email protected] Locking the Fabric The first action that modifies the database creates the pending database and locks the feature in the entire fabric. Once you lock the fabric, the following situations apply: • No other user can make any configuration changes to this feature. • A copy of the configuration database becomes the pending database along with the first change. 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 using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select Users and Roles in the Physical Attributes pane. Click the Roles CFS tab in the Information pane. You see the screen shown in Figure 39-5. Figure 39-5 Roles CFS Tab Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Set the Global drop-down menu to enable to enable CFS. Click Apply Changes to save this change. Set the Config Action drop-down menu to commit to commit the roles using CFS.
