Manage Configuration Data
The Sphereon 4500 Element Manager application provides options to
back up and restore the configuration file stored in nonvolatile
random-access memory (NV-RAM) on the switch CTP card. The
switch must be set offline prior to restoring the configuration file.
Configuration data in the file include:
• Switch identification data.
• Port configuration data.
• Switch and fabric operating parameters.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) configuration
information.
• Zoning configuration information.
The SANpilot interface and the Element Manager application
provide the option to reset the configuration file to factory default
values. The switch must be set offline prior to resetting the
configuration file.
Back Up the
Configuration
To back up the switch configuration file to the management server
using the Sphereon 4500 Element Manager application:
1. At the management server, open the SAN management
application (SANavigator 4.0 or EFCM 8.0).
2. At the SAN management application’s physical map, right-
click the product icon representing the switch for which a
configuration file is to be backed up, then select Element Manager
from the pop-up menu. The application opens.
3. Select the Backup & Restore Configuration option from the
Maintenance menu. The Backup and Restore Configuration dialog
box displays (Figure 4-69 on page 4-80).
