Copying Fabric Binding Configurations
When you copy the fabric binding configuration, the config database is saved to the running configuration.
You can use the following commands to copy to the config database:
• Use the fabric-binding database copy vsan command to copy from the active database to the config
• Use the fabric-binding database diff active vsan command to view the differences between the active
• Use the fabric-binding database diff config vsan command to obtain information on the differences
• Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the running configuration to the startup
