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:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# rscn commit vsan 10

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:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# rscn abort vsan 10

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

Displaying RSCN Configuration Distribution Information

Use the show cfs application name rscn command to display the registration status for RSCN
configuration distribution.
