Example of a configDownload with Admin Domains
The following example shows configDownload run on a switch with Admin Domains:
switch:AD5:admin>configdownload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 10.1.2.3
User Name [user]: UserFoo
Path/Filename [<home dir>/config.txt]: /pub/configurations/config.txt
*** CAUTION ***
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
configDownload operation may take several minutes
to complete for large files.

Activating configDownload: Switch is disabled
configDownload complete: Only zoning parameters are downloaded to ad5.
Example of a non-interactive download of all configurations (chassis + switches)
configdownload -a -ftp 10.1.2.3,UserFoo,config.txt,password
Configuration restoration in a FICON environment
If the switch is operating in a FICON CUP environment, and the ASM (active=saved) bit is set on,
then the switch ignores the IPL file downloaded when you restore a configuration. Table 40
describes this behavior in more detail.
