8 Configuration file backup • chassis configuration • FCoE chassis configuration • licensesDB • bottleneck configuration • DMM_WWN • licenses • GE blade mode • Fabric Watch chassis configuration Switch section There is always at least one switch section for the default switch or a switch that has Virtual Fabric mode disabled, and there are additional sections corresponding to each additionally defined logical switch instance on a switch with Virtual Fabrics mode enabled. These are the switch-specific data that affect only that logical switch's behavior. The following components are in the switch section of the configuration file: • boot parameters • configuration • bottleneck configuration • FCOE configuration • zoning • defined security policies • active security policies • iSCSI • cryptoDev • FICU saved files Configuration file backup In case the configuration is lost or unintentional changes are made, keep a backup copy of the configuration file. You should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric and avoid copying configurations from one switch to another. The configUpload command, by default, only uploads the switch context configuration for the logical switch context in which the command is executed. In non-Virtual Fabric mode, you must use the configUpload -all command to include both the switch and the chassis information. In Virtual Fabric mode, the configUpload -all command can be selected to upload all logical switches and the chassis configuration. Only administrators with the chassis role permission are allowed to upload other FIDs or the chassis configuration. The following information is not saved in a backup: • dnsConfig information • passwords Before beginning, verify that you can reach the FTP server from the switch. Using a Telnet connection, save a backup copy of the configuration file from a logical switch to a host computer. 162 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001336-01
