Chapter 5 Initial Configuration NTP Configuration Send documentation comments to [email protected] 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. To discard NTP configuration changes, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# config t switch(config)# ntp abort Purpose Enters configuration mode. Discards the NTP configuration changes in the pending database and releases the fabric lock. 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. 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 NTP session, use the clear ntp session command. switch# clear ntp session Database Merge Guidelines When merging two fabrics, follow these guidelines: • Be aware that the merge is a union of the existing and the received database in each switch in the fabric. • Do not configure an IP address as a server on one switch and as a peer on another switch. The merge can fail if this configuration exists. • Verify that the union of the databases does not exceed the maximum limit of 64. See to the "CFS Merge Support" section on page 7-9 for detailed concepts. NTP Session Status Verification To verify the status of the NTP session, use the show ntp session-status command. switch# show ntp session-status last-action : Distribution Enable Result : Success OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 5-25
