Edge Switch 2/24 installation guide 63

Backing up HAFM configuration data

It is important to back up the HAFM configuration data. This data is used to restore the HAFM

appliance operating environment in case of hard drive failure. See the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric

Manager appliance installation guide for instructions on backing up the HAFM configuration data.

Resetting configuration data

You can use the following procedure to reset all Edge Switch configuration data and non-volatile

settings to factory default values.

1. Notify the customer that the Edge Switch is to be set offline. Ensure that the customer’s system

administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the Edge Switch and sets attached

FC-AL devices offline.

2. At the HAFM appliance, open the HAFM appliance application.

3. Set the Edge Switch offline.

For instructions, see ”Setting the Edge Switch online and offline” on page 41.

4. At the HAFM application’s physical map, right-click the product icon representing the switch for

which a configuration file is to be reset to factory default settings, and then select Element

Manager from the pop-up menu.

The application opens.

5. Select the Reset Configuration option from the Maintenance menu.

The Reset Configuration dialog box is displayed (Figure 37).

6. Click Reset to initiate the reset operation and close the dialog box.

The Edge Switch IP address resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.

• If the configured IP address (prior to reset) was the same as the default address, the

switch-to-management appliance Ethernet link is not affected and the procedure is complete.

• If the configured IP address (prior to reset) was not the same as the default address, the

switch-to-management appliance Ethernet link drops and server communication is lost.

Continue to the next step.

7. To change the switch IP address and restart the management appliance session, go to step 9.

8. To restart a management appliance session using the default IP address of 10.1.1.10:

a. Close the Element Manager application and return to the HAFM application.

A grey square with a yellow exclamation mark is displayed adjacent to the icon representing

the reset switch, indicating switch is not communicating with the HAFM appliance.

b. At the HAFM application, select Discover > Setup.
