You see the CFS dialog box with the CFS status for all features on that switch.
For each applicable feature, set the Command column to commit to commit the configuration changes
Step 2
for that feature and distribute the changes through CFS, or set it to abort to discard the changes for that
feature and release the fabric lock for CFS for that feature.
Step 3 Optionally, provide a Type or VsanID as the basis for the CFS distribution for CFS features that require
this.
Step 4 Click Pending Differences to check the configuration of this feature on this switch as compared to other
switches in the fabric or VSAN that have CFS enabled for this feature.
Step 5 Click Apply to apply the CFS configuration change.
Device Manager retrieves the status of the CFS change and updates the Last Command and Result
columns.
Caution If you do not commit the changes, they are not saved to the running configuration.
Discarding Changes
If you discard configuration changes, the application flushes the pending database and releases locks in
the fabric. Both the abort and commit functions are only supported from the switch from which the fabric
lock is acquired.
You can discard changes for a specified feature by setting the Command column value to disable for that
feature then clicking Apply.

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 MDS 9000 Family 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 fabric. This option is provided to rescue
you from situations where locks are acquired and not released. This function requires Admin
permissions.
To clear locks using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
