Up to ten simultaneous browser connections are allowed. When multiple CLI or BBI sessions are open concurrently, only pending changes, made during your current session, are affected by use of the global Diff, Revert, or Logout commands. However, when multiple CLI or BBI administrators apply changes to the same set of parameters concurrently, the latest applied changes take precedence. TIP: See Figure 75 on page 107, Administration/Monitor/GUI Lock form. To prevent conflicts, any user logged in as administrator (username admin) can take control of the GUI lock before changing or creating a configuration.

Pending change exceptions

After submission, most changes are considered pending and are not immediately put into effect or permanently saved. However, changes to the date or time zone, and users and passwords take effect as soon as the form is submitted. See Cluster/Time/Current Time form on page 40 and Administration/Users/General form on page 110.

Lost changes

Changes are lost if a new form is selected or the session is ended without submitting the information to the pending configuration. Click Update or Submit on the form to submit changes to the pending configuration.
