Fabric Binding Activation and Deactivation

The fabric binding feature maintains a configuration database (config-database) and an active database. The config-database is a read-write database that collects the configurations you perform. These configurations are only enforced upon activation. This activation overwrites the active database with the contents of the config- database. The active database is read-only and is the database that checks each switch that attempts to log in.

To activate, deactivate, or to force fabric bind using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand a VSAN with fabric binding in the Logical Domains pane. Expand Domain Manager and select Fabric Binding.
  2. Click the Actions tab in the Information pane.
  3. Click the Action drop-down menu and select activate or deactivate or force activate Fabric Binding on the switch.
  4. Click the Apply Changes icon to save your changes.

The Enabled column for the switch is now True.
