3 Performing basic maintenance
This chapter provides procedures for installing software, maintaining configuration files, and checking
hardware status. This information is provided in the following sections:
• Maintaining the router configuration, next
• Maintaining firmware, page 35
• Performing hardware checks, page 41
Maintaining the router configuration
It is important that fabric configuration settings be consistent across the fabric, because inconsistent
parameters can cause fabric segmentation. You should keep a backup file of the router configuration so
that if settings are lost or unintentional changes are made, you can restore the configuration.
You can display configuration settings, back up configurations to a host computer, and restore
configurations using the XPath OS commands shown in the following procedures, or you can use
Advanced Web Tools, as described in the HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.x Advanced Web Tools
administrator guide.
Print a copy of important configuration data, including password information, and store it in a secure
location. In the event of loss of both configuration information backup file and backup copies, you can use
this data to start rebuilding the configuration.
Displaying configuration settings
1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the configShow command:
The configuration parameters for your router might vary from those shown in the example.
Backing up a configuration
1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the host computer and that you have an account on that host.
2. Log in as admin.
