McDATA Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
For the EFCM 8.0 application, critical configuration data is stored on
the management server hard drive in the following directories:
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.0\CallHome
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.0\Client
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.0\Server.
The server is configured to automatically mirror the contents of these
directories to the CD-RW drive anytime directory contents change or
the server is rebooted. The directories contain all SAN management
configuration data, and are used to restore the management server
operating environment in case of hard drive failure. The directories
contain:
• SAN management configuration data (switch definitions, user
names and passwords, switch date and time, port configurations,
operating parameters, SNMP recipients, and e-mail recipients).
• Log files (SAN management application logs and Sphereon 4500
Element Manager application logs).
• Switch firmware versions stored in the firmware library.
• Call-home configuration data.
• Configuration data for the switch is stored in nonvolatile random
access memory (NV-RAM) on the switch’s CTP card, and is
backed up through the Element Manager application. The data is
recorded in the directory when a backup is performed.
The server does not back up Windows 2000 operating system data,
such as user names, passwords, date and time, and TCP/IP network
information. This information was recorded while performing
installation tasks, and verified while performing Task 14: Record or
Verify Server Restore Information on page 2-78.
To back up management server configuration data and create a base
restore CD:
1. Insert a blank rewritable CD into the CD-RW drive and format
the CD:
a. At the Windows 2000 desktop, locate the InCD icon at the
right side of the task bar (Figure 2-104 on page 2-117).
