Device Alias Databases

The device alias feature uses two databases to accept and implement device alias configurations:

• Effective database—The database currently used by the fabric.
• Pending database—Your subsequent device alias configuration changes are stored in the pending database.

If you modify the device alias configuration, you need to commit or discard the changes as the fabric remains locked during this period.
