Using Maintenance Features
The Backup and Restore dialog box consists of a short description of the features
performed when you choose Backup or Restore.
Following is a list of configurations that are backed up to the HAFM server:
• Identification data (Switch name, description, and location).
• Port configuration data (port names, blocked states, and extended distance
settings).
• Operating parameters (BB_Credit, E_D_TOV, R_A_TOV, Switch priority,
preferred domain ID, and rerouting delay).
• SNMP configuration (trap recipients, community names, and write
authorizations).
• Zoning configuration (active zone set and default zone state).
2. To backup data, click Backup.
3. When the dialog box displays confirming that the backup of configuration is
complete, click OK.
If the backup fails, a dialog box displays to inform you that the backup to the
server failed.
Restore
1. Set the Switch offline before performing the restore function.
2. Click Restore on the Backup and Restore Configuration dialog box to restore
the backed up configuration to the nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM)
on the Switch.
Set the Switch to offline before performing the restore function. If you choose
Restore and the Switch is online, a message dialog displays requesting that you
turn the Switch offline. No action takes place when you close the dialog box. For
instructions on setting the Switch offline or online, refer to Set Online State on
page 5-4.
If the Switch is already offline and you click Restore, a confirmation dialog box
displays indicating that the restore will overwrite any existing configuration
already on the Switch. The dialog box also displays the date of the restored
backup. Click OK.
Note that the restore operation initiates an IPL.
3. Set the Switch back online when the restore completes.
