Locking the Fabric

The first action that modifies the database creates the pending database and locks the feature in the
VSAN. Once you lock the fabric, the following situations apply:
•
•

Committing the 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 IVR configuration changes, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# ivr commit

Discarding the Changes

If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration database remains
unaffected and the lock is released.
To discard IVR configuration changes, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# ivr abort

Clearing a Locked Session

If you have performed an IVR task 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.
The pending database is only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the
Tip
switch is restarted.
To use administrative privileges and release a locked DPVM session, use the clear ivr session command
in EXEC mode.
switch# clear ivr session
