HP 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 71
Archiving a switch
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. This archive file can be used
to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive
file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric.
Basically any data received by QuickTools is archived. Passwords are not archived. Security Group secrets
are not included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI after a restore.
Archived parameters include:
• Switch properties and statistics
• IP configuration
• SNMP configuration
• Port properties and statistics
• Name server
• Date/Time and NTP settings
• Alarm configuration
• Zoning configuration
• Nicknames configuration
• Call Home parameters
• User account information (but not restored)
• Configured security (available only with SSL connection to the switch).
• RADIUS Server information (available only with SSL connection to the switch)
NOTE: Security features must be configured using CLI. See the HP 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command
Line Interface Guide for information about the command line interface.
To archive a switch:
1. Select Switch > Archive.
2. In the Save dialog box, enter a file name.
3. Click Save.
