Clearing Sessions To forcibly clear the existing role session in the fabric, issue the clear role session command from any switch that is part of the initiated session. Caution Any changes in the pending database are lost when you issue this command. switch# clear role session Database Merge Guidelines Fabric merge does not modify the role database on a switch. If two fabrics merge, and the fabrics have different role databases, the software generates an alert message. See the "CFS Merge Support" section on page 7-9 for detailed concepts. • Verify that the role database is identical on all switches in the entire fabric. • Be sure to edit the role database on any switch to the desired database and then commit it. This synchronizes the role databases on all the switches in the fabric. Displaying Role-Based Information Use the show role command to display rules configured on the switch. The rules are displayed by rule number and are based on each role. All roles are displayed if the role name is not specified.
