Chapter 11 Configuring Domain Parameters
Domain IDs
To commit pending domain configuration changes and release the lock using Fabric Manager, perform
this task:
Step 1 Expand Fabricxx > VSANxx > Domain Manager, and then choose Allowed in the Logical Domains
pane for the fabric and VSAN that you want to set the allowed domain ID list for.
You see the CFS configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Set the Config Action drop-down list to commit.
Step 3 Click the Apply Changes icon to commit the allowed domain ID list and distribute it throughout the
VSAN.
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 using Fabric Manager, perform
this task:
Step 1 Expand Fabricxx > VSANxx > Domain Manager, and then choose Allowed in the Logical Domains
pane for the fabric and VSAN that you want to set the allowed domain ID list for.
You see the CFS configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Set the Config Action drop-down list to abort.
Step 3 Click the Apply Changes icon to discard any pending changes to the allowed domain ID list.
Clearing a Fabric Lock
If you have performed a domain configuration task and have not released 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 pending changes are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
Tip The pending changes are only available in the volatile directory and are discarded if the switch is
restarted.
To release a fabric lock using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Expand Fabricxx > VSANxx > Domain Manager, and then choose Allowed in the Logical Domains
pane for the fabric and VSAN for which you want the allowed domain ID list.
You see the CFS configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Set the Config Action drop-down list to clear.
