4 • If the current Admin Domain owns the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows config upload/download, the following will be saved in the configuration file: - Local zone configuration - iSCSI config (if any) - All other config information except Admin Domain configuration information • If you invoke it from AD255 and you are logged in with any role that allows config upload/ download), the following will be saved in the configuration file: - Configuration information for zones in all Admin Domains - iSCSI configuration (if any) - All other configuration information, including zoning from all Admin Domains The filtering depends on the Admin Domain switch ownership, with additional access if you are in AD255. Access to the command itself is limited by Role-based access (RBAC), and not by whether the current user is a Physical Fabric Administrator or an admin user with enumerated access to the relevant domains. To back up a configuration file 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3. 2. Click the Configure tab. 3. Click the Upload/Download subtab (see Figure 4-1). 4. Click the Config Upload to Host radio button. 5. Type the host IP, user name, file name, and password. 6. Type the configuration file with a fully qualified path. 7. Select a protocol to use to transfer the file. 8. Click Apply. You can monitor the progress by looking at the Upload/Download progress bar on the Configure tab. Restoring a Configuration Restoring a configuration involves overwriting the configuration on the switch by downloading a previously saved backup configuration file. Perform this procedure during a planned down time. Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch model, because configuration files from other model switches might cause your switch to fail. To download a configuration to the switch 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3. 2. Disable the switch, as described in "Enabling and Disabling a Switch" on page 3-7. You can download configurations only to a disabled (offline) switch. You will only be able to disable the switch if you the Admin Domain you are logged into owns the switch. 3. Click the Configure tab. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 4-3 Publication Number: 53-0000194-01
