Chapter 23 Configuring Inter-VSAN Routing Configuring IVR 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 VSAN. 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 active change. Committing the Changes If you commit the changes made to the active 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. To commit IVR configuration changes, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# config t switch(config)# switch(config)# ivr commit Purpose Enters configuration mode. Commits the IVR changes. 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 IVR configuration changes, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# config t switch(config)# switch(config)# ivr abort Purpose Enters configuration mode. Discards the IVR changes and clears the pending configuration database. Clearing a Locked Session If you have performed an IVR 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 pending database is 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 DPVM session, use the clear ivr session command in EXEC mode. switch# clear ivr session OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 23-11
