HP StorageWorks 4/16 Brocade OS Command Reference Manual Supporting Fabric OS - Page 111

configUpload 2 "file" A file name in quotation marks, for example, "config.txt". This parameter can be used only with the -local and -USB options, each of which stores files in a pre-defined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. -force This parameter is used only with the -local and -USB options, and specifies that any existing file can be overwritten. Without this option, the user will be prompted to confirm such overwrites. When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload will run in interactive mode, prompting the user for input. Note that "host" is not required when -local or -USB is specified NOTE None of the above operands can contain the double-quote character, both in command-line mode nor the interactive mode. Once a configuration file has been uploaded to an external system, it must NOT be manually edited before being downloaded, either to the same or another switch. Such an operation will bypass sanity checks for some configuration datapoints, resulting in unpredictable behavior. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Examples To upload a configuration file interactively from the local chassis: switch:admin> configupload Protocol (scp, ftp, local, or usb) [ftp]: local File Name [config.txt]: Overwrite previous file (Y/N)?
