This action will ensure that the configuration database is in sync with the active database. If distribution is enabled, this command creates a temporary copy (and consequently a fabric lock) of the configuration database. If you lock the fabric, you need to commit the changes to the configuration databases in all the switches. 39-16 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
