Backing up a switch configuration

NOTE

The Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license must be activated on a switch to perform this

procedure and to use the supportSave module.

If a periodic backup is scheduled at the SAN level, that backup will apply to all switches from all

fabrics discovered. Any new fabrics being discovered are automatically added to the list of fabrics

to be backed up.

NOTE

If a backup is scheduled for more than one fabric and some of the fabrics contain common

members, the backup will include the unique switch configuration values obtained from the fabrics.

You can schedule a backup of one or more switch configurations. The configuration files are stored

in the Management application database.

1. Right-click a device in the Product List or the Connectivity Map, and select Configuration >

Schedule Backup.

The Schedule Backup of Switch Configurations dialog box is displayed (Figure 70).
