2 configUpload You can use FTP or SCP to upload configuration files to an external host, or you can save the configuration in a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. If the specified file already exists, this command prompts you to overwrite the file. Specify -force to overwrite the file without confirmation. When the local chassis is chosen as the destination, the resulting file is written to both primary and secondary partitions, and on enterprise-class platforms, to both Active and Standby Control Processors (CPs). Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on backward compatibility, on configuration upload and download in Admin Domains (AD), and on the content of the configuration file. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Do not manually edit a configuration or a switch-conf.xx file after uploading the file and before downloading the file to a switch. Manual editing bypasses sanity checks for some configuration parameters and results in unpredictable system behavior Operands The following operands are supported: -p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp Specifies the data transmission protocol as either File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP). If no protocol is specified, the protocol defaults to FTP. -vf -fid FID Uploads the Virtual fabric configuration to a file. You must specify a filename when uploading this file. It is recommended to name this file switch-conf_xx.txt (where xx indicates the platform ID) to distinguish this file from the system configuration (config.txt). Use switchShow to determine the platform ID of the system. The platform ID in the header of the configuration file is the same as the first two digits of the switchType parameter in the switchShow output. You cannot use the -vf option with any of the regular configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all). Uploads switch configuration data from a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This parameter is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions. -chassis Uploads chassis configuration only. -all "host" "user" "path" Uploads all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration for all logical switches. Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host to which to upload the configuration. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to set up one or more DNS servers with dnsConfig. Quotation marks are optional. Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional. Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the file is uploaded to an external host. Quotation marks are optional. 118 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
