Saving the Configuration
Configuration changes that have not been applied yet (still in the pending database) are not shown in the
running configuration. The configuration changes in the pending database overwrite the configuration
in the effective database when you commit the changes.
Caution If you do not commit the changes, they are not saved to the running configuration.
The CISCO-CFS-MIB contains SNMP configuration information for any CFS-related functions. Refer
to the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series MIB Quick Reference for more information on this MIB.
Clearing a Locked Session
You can clear locks held by an application from any switch in the network to recover from situations
where locks are acquired and not released. This function requires Admin permissions.
To clear locks using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Click the CFS tab.
Step 2 Choose clearLock from the Config Action drop-down list for each switch that you want to clear the lock
(see Figure 7-4).
Step 3 Click the Apply Changes icon to save the change.

Caution Exercise caution when using this function to clear locks in the network. Any pending configurations in
any switch in the network is flushed and lost.
