Chapter 33 Configuring Domain Parameters
Domain IDs
To enable (or disable) allowed domain ID list configuration distribution, perform this task:
Locking the Fabric
The first action that modifies the existing configuration creates the pending configuration and locks the
feature in the fabric. After you lock the fabric, the following conditions apply:
• No other user can make any configuration changes to this feature.
• A pending configuration is created by copying the active configuration. Subsequent modifications
are made to the pending configuration and remain there until you commit the changes to the active
configuration (and other switches in the fabric) or discard them.
Committing Changes
To apply the pending domain configuration changes to other SAN switches in the VSAN, you must
commit the changes. The pending configuration changes are distributed and, on a successful commit, the
configuration changes are applied to the active configuration in the SAN switches throughout the VSAN
and the fabric lock is released.
To commit pending domain configuration changes and release the lock, perform this task:
Discarding Changes
At any time, you can discard the pending changes to the domain configuration and release the fabric lock.
If you discard (abort) the pending changes, the configuration remains unaffected and the lock is released.
To discard pending domain configuration changes and release the lock, perform this task:
