Configuration repository management
Configuration files are stored in an SQL database on the Management application server. You can
save entire configurations of switch configuration files and use them to ensure consistent switch
settings in your fabric, propagate configuration settings to additional switches in the fabric, and
troubleshoot the switches.
For Windows platforms the default location is
<Install_Home>\data\database\<Management_Application_Name>.db
For more information about the database fields, refer to “Sybase and Derby Database Fields” on
page 617.
