Explanation
In Cisco MDS SAN environments, the clear argument is used with the zone command to remove an existing lock on the zoning database - specifically, clear zone lock vsan <id> releases a lock held by another administrator, allowing the current engineer to proceed with activating the zoneset. Commit is incorrect because it applies/saves pending zone changes rather than removing locks. Abort discards your own in-progress zone session changes but cannot remove a lock belonging to a different user. Force is a common distractor but is not a valid argument for this specific zoning lock scenario in NX-OS.
Memory tip: Think of it literally - you need to clear the obstacle (the lock) before you can move forward. The verb matches the action: "clear the lock."
