You can use FTP or SCP to upload the configuration file 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). Beginning with Fabric OS v6.2.0, configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately. The behavior of configUpload depends on the environment in which the command is executed. • In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command uploads the current logical switch configuration only. An Admin user with chassis permissions can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration uploads: - Upload the switch configuration of a specified logical switch (-fid FID). - Upload the chassis configuration only (-chassis). - Upload the entire configuration including the data for all logical switches and for the chassis (-all). The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the parameters the user is allowed to execute. • In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default uploads the switch configuration. Additional options support uploading the chassis configuration (-chassis) or all of the system's configuration data, including chassis and switch configurations (-all). Chassis permissions are required. The -fid option is not valid. Configuration management supports backward compatibility only with configuration download, not the upload. You can download a v6.1 configuration to a switch running v6.2 firmware, but a v6.2 configuration file is not accepted by a switch running pre-v6.2 firmware. For more information on compatibility, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The configuration file is divided into sections. Section headers are enclosed in square brackets ([]). Configuration data is displayed as a name:value pair. The syntax is as follows: line whitespace name whitespace ":" whitespace value name component {"." component} Fabric OS Command Reference 101 53-1001186-01
