Clearing a Fabric Lock
If you have performed a domain configuration task and have not released 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 pending changes are discarded and the fabric lock is released.
The pending changes are only available in the volatile directory and are discarded if the switch is restarted.
