Committing the RSCN Timer Configuration Changes

Committing the RSCN Timer Configuration Changes
If you commit the changes made to the active database, the configuration is committed to all the switches in
the fabric. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout the fabric and the lock is
released.
To commit RSCN timer configuration changes, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# rscn commit vsan 10
Commits the RSCN timer changes.

Discarding the RSCN Timer Configuration Changes

If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration database remains unaffected
and the lock is released.
To discard RSCN timer configuration changes, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# rscn abort vsan 10
Discards the RSCN timer changes and clears the pending configuration database.

Clearing a Locked Session

If you have changed the RSCN timer configuration and have forgotten to release 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 changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
Tip
The pending database is only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch
is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked DPVM session, use the clear rscn session vsan command
in EXEC mode.
switch# clear rscn session vsan 10
