attribute cannot be loaded, the configuration will be R (rolled back).
That is, the original configuration will be replaced in the device.
• Doing a One-to-One or a Many-to-Many Device Specific Load
In a device specific load, you can load a configuration to one specific device
or load many device specific configurations to many devices of the same
type, on a one to one basis in the selected landscape(s).
• Doing a One-to-One or a One-to-Many Shared Load
In a shared load, you can load a configuration to one or to many devices of
the same type in the selected landscape(s).
• Doing a Backup-First Load
In the Load operation, if you so choose, ECM will capture and store the
current device configuration as a backup before loading a new
configuration (see Store Before Load, on Page 5-12).
• Loading Without the Rollback Option
In the Load operation, if you so choose, ECM will continue the load if it
cannot load one or more attributes (see Load Settings, on Page 5-11).
In this case, the configuration is displayed as:
- “Not Loaded” — if no attributes could be loaded
- “Partially Loaded” — if one or more attributes could not be loaded
By looking in the Load Result Detail window after the load, you can see
what attributes did not load. By printing out this list you can save it for
analysis to fix the problem.
• Safe Loading with the Rollback Option
In the Load operation, if you so choose, ECM will stop the load if it cannot
load one or more attributes. It will then roll back the original
configuration; or, if for some reason it cannot roll back all the original
attributes, it displays a list of those attributes it could not roll back in the
Rollback Load Failure Detail window (see Safe Load, on Page 5-12).
In this case, the configuration is displayed as:
- “Rolled Back” — if the roll back is successful
- “Not Loaded” — if the first attribute couldn’t be loaded
- “Rollback Failed” — if an attribute could not be rolled back
- “Partially Loaded” — if the configuration contains a Cisco host
configuration and that did not load.
By looking in the Load Result Detail window and (if you have a rollback
failure) in the Rollback Load Failure Detail window, you can see what
