Resetting the Version Number and Time Stamp
When a change occurs to any information in the Secure Fabric OS database (zoning, policies,
passwords, or SNMP), the current time stamp and a version number are attached to the Secure Fabric
OS database.
This information is used to determine which database is preserved when two or more fabrics are
merged. The database of the fabric with a nonzero version stamp is kept. When merging fabrics, ensure
that the version stamp of the database you want to preserve is nonzero; then, set the version stamp of all
other fabrics to 0. To ensure that the time stamp of a fabric is nonzero, modify a policy and enter either
the secPolicySave or secPolicyActivate command.
To display the version number and time stamp of a fabric
1. From a sectelnet or SSH session, log in to the primary FCS switch as admin.
2. Type the secModeShow command.
primaryfcs:admin> sectemppasswdset 2, ”admin”
