Back Up and Restore a Switch Configuration
Successful management of switches and fabrics depends on the effective use of
switch configurations. Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect
your work or for use as a template in configuring other switches. Backing up and
restoring the switch configuration involves the following:
Creating the Backup File
Downloading the Configuration File
Restoring the Configuration File
5.3.6.1
Creating the Backup File
The Config Backup command creates a file on the switch, named configdata. This
file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the command line
interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
SANbox #> config backup
The configdata file contains the following switch configuration information:
All named switch configurations including port, switch, port threshold alarm,
and zoning configurations components.
All SNMP and network information defined with the Set Setup command.
The zoning database includes all zone sets, zones, and aliases.
The security database except the group primary and secondary secrets.
NOTE: Configuration backup files are deleted from the switch during a power
cycle, switch reset, or a transfer of the primary role to the secondary
CPU blade.
