Using Maintenance Features
Restore
1. Set the switch offline before performing the restore function.
2. Click Restore on the Backup and Restore Configuration dialog box to
restore the backed up configuration to the nonvolatile random
access memory (NV-RAM) on the switch.
Set the switch to offline before performing the restore function. If
you select Restore and the switch is online, a message dialog
displays requesting that you turn the switch offline. No action
takes place when you close the dialog box. For instructions on
setting the switch offline or online, refer to Set Online State on
page 5-4.
If the switch is already offline and you click the Restore button, a
confirmation dialog box displays indicating that the restore will
overwrite any existing configuration already on the switch. The
dialog box also displays the date of the restored backup. Click
OK.
Note that the restore operation initiates an IPL.
3. Set the switch back online when the restore completes.
Reset Configuration
NOTE: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this
feature.
This option resets all configuration data input through options in the
Configuration menu, zoning configurations, and switch addressing to
factory-default values. Since the current IP address for the switch
may not match the factory default address, the Ethernet link between
the switch and the service processor may drop and not reset. Before
using this option, record the switch’s current IP address which
displays below the switch’s icon in the EFC Manager’s Product View
(view Display Options set to Network Address). You can also find the
current IP address through the SANpilot Interface.
After resetting the configuration, you must reset the original address
on the switch through the maintenance port or the SANpilot Interface
to maintain LAN connections and communication with the service
processor.
