If your user account has chassis account permissions, you can use any of the following options
when uploading or downloading a configuration file:
Configuration file format
The configuration file is divided into three areas: the header, the chassis section, and one or more
logical-switch sections.
Chassis section
There is only one chassis section within a configuration. It defines configuration data for chassis
components that affect the entire system, not just one individual logical switch. The chassis
section is included in non-Virtual Fabric modes only if you use the configUpload
-all command.
The chassis section specifies characteristics for the following software components:
• FC Routing – Fibre Channel Routing
• Chassis configuration – Chassis configuration
• FCOE_CH_CONF – FCoE chassis configuration
• UDROLE_CONF – User-defined role configuration
• LicensesDB – License Database (slot-based)
• DMM_WWN – Data migration manager World Wide Name configuration
• Licenses – (Feature-based) Licenses configuration
• AGWWN_MAPPING_CONF – Access Gateway WWN mapping configuration
• LicensesLservc – Sentinel License configuration
• GE blade mode – GigE Mode configuration
• FWD CHASSIS CFG – Fabric Watch configuration
• FRAME LOG – Frame log configuration (enable/disable)
• DMM_TB – Data migration manager configuration
• MOTD – Message of the day
Switch section
There is always at least one switch section for the default switch or a switch that has Virtual Fabrics
mode disabled, and there are additional sections corresponding to each additionally defined
logical switch instance on a switch with Virtual Fabrics mode enabled. This data is switch-specific
and affects only that logical switch behavior.
-fid To upload the specified FID configuration.
-all To upload all of the system configuration, including the chassis section
and all switch sections for all logical switches.
NOTE: Use this parameter when obtaining a complete capture of the switch
configuration in a switch that has Virtual Fabrics mode disabled.
-chassis To upload only the chassis section of the system configuration file.
-switch To upload the switch configuration only, if Virtual Fabrics mode is disabled.
