Restoring from Backups
Storing Backups to a Remote TFTP Server
Use the following procedure to create a backup configuration file named backup1 and to copy that
backup file to another file named back1.temp, located on the TFTP host, tftpserver1, in the default
directory, /tftpboot.
Restoring from Backups
AAA authentication information, access lists, FC interface and switch configuration, SCSI routing
instances, FCIP instances, VLANs, and selected system configuration data can be restored from
previously saved configuration files. You may choose to restore selected data such as a specific SCSI
routing or FCIP instance, or all available configuration data, using the restore command with the from
keyword.
The file from which configuration is restored must reside in the savedconfig directory
(/ata3/savedconfig). If you need to restore configuration data from a backup file existing elsewhere in
the network, use the copy command to make the desired file available in the savedconfig directory.
Restoring configuration data copies all or part of the contents of the specified file into persistent
memory; it does not always change the storage router's running configuration. For example, the
configuration of a restored SCSI routing instance may only be completely visible via the
show scsirouter command using the from bootconfig keywords until the instance has been restarted. A
restored FCIP instance, however, is automatically enabled and the storage router running configuration
is updated.
Note The configuration information available for restoration depends on the deployment of the SN 5428-2
Storage Router.
Restoring a Deleted SCSI Routing Instance
For example, suppose the SCSI routing instance, scsi1, was inadvertently deleted. Use the following
procedure to restore scsi1 from a configuration file that was saved to a URL.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
save system mybackup Save the storage router system configuration information to a file
named mybackup.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
save all backup1 Save the current running configuration to a file called backup1 in
the savedconfig directory.
Step 3
copy savedconfig:backup1
tftp://tserver1/back1.temp
Copy the saved configuration file, backup1, to a file called
back1.temp, located on the TFTP server, tserver1, in the default
directory.
Note The back1.temp file must already exist in the default
directory with the appropriate permissions that allow it to
be overwritten. You cannot create a new file using TFTP.
