Restoring a Switch
Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the
switch.The administrative state of the switch must be set to “offline” using the
Switch Properties dialog before an archive can be used in the restore process. Refer
to Archiving a Switch for more information.
Caution – The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from the
fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the fabric. After the restore
process is complete, the switch can be reconnected to the fabric.
To restore a switch, do the following:
1. Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot restore
a switch over an ISL.
2. Open the Switch menu and select Restore to display the Restore dialog
(
FIGURE 3-14). The Restore dialog offers a Full Restore and a Selective Restore
tab.
