Using Fabric Watch with configuration files110
Profiles
HP provides partial configuration files, or
profiles
, that help you configure Fabric Watch in a
way that is most appropriate to your particular SAN needs.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Watch configuration settings or
profiles,
reside on the HP StorageWorks
SAN Switch Software 4.x CD that shipped with your switch.
To configure Fabric Watch with a profile:
1. Upload the configuration file to the host by typing configUpload.
2. Retrieve the Fabric Watch
profiles
from the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Software 4.x
CD that shipped with your switch. Open your configuration file in a text editor.
3. Copy the contents of the profile and append that information to the [Configuration]
section of the configuration file.
The contents of the profile overwrite any duplicate information earlier in the configuration.
4. To download your updated configuration to your switch, enter the configDownload
command.
