Backup and Restore Features The HP EFC Server provides two backup and restore features. One feature backs up (to the HP EFC Server) or restores the configuration file stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NV-RAM) on a director's CTP card. The other feature backs up (to the Zip drive) or restores the entire HP EFC Manager data directory. The backup and restore features operate as follows: • NV-RAM configuration The NV-RAM configuration for any managed director is backed up or restored through the Product Manager application. This backup file is required to restore configuration data if both CTP cards are removed and replaced. The file is typically not required in a redundant director; however the feature may be useful to save a special-purpose configuration for test. Configuration data (stored in NV-RAM on each director) backed up to the HP EFC Server includes: - Identification data, such as the director name, description, and location. - Port configuration data, such as port names, blocked states, extended distance settings, and link incident (LIN) alerts. - Operating parameters, such as buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_credit), error detect timeout value (E_D_TOV), resource allocation timeout value (R_A_TOV), switch priority, and preferred domain ID. - Active zoning configuration. - SNMP configuration parameters, such as trap recipients, community names, and write authorizations. • HP EFC Manager data directory Critical information (for all managed products) stored in this directory is backed up or restored using the QuikSync application from Iomega®. The application is configured to automatically back up the contents of the data directory to a removable Zip disk 34 Backup and Restore Features

Backup and Restore Features
Backup and Restore Features
The HP EFC Server provides two backup and restore features. One feature backs up (to the
HP EFC Server) or restores the configuration file stored in nonvolatile random-access
memory (NV-RAM) on a director
’
s CTP card. The other feature backs up (to the Zip drive)
or restores the entire HP EFC Manager data directory. The backup and restore features
operate as follows:
•
NV-RAM configuration
The NV-RAM configuration for any managed director is backed up or restored through
the Product Manager application. This backup file is required to restore configuration
data if both CTP cards are removed and replaced. The file is typically not required in a
redundant director; however the feature may be useful to save a special-purpose
configuration for test. Configuration data (stored in NV-RAM on each director) backed
up to the HP EFC Server includes:
–
Identification data, such as the director name, description, and location.
–
Port configuration data, such as port names, blocked states, extended distance
settings, and link incident (LIN) alerts.
–
Operating parameters, such as buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_credit), error detect
timeout value (E_D_TOV), resource allocation timeout value (R_A_TOV), switch
priority, and preferred domain ID.
–
Active zoning configuration.
–
SNMP configuration parameters, such as trap recipients, community names, and
write authorizations.
•
HP EFC Manager data directory
Critical information (for all managed products) stored in this directory is backed up or
restored using the QuikSync application from Iomega
®
. The application is configured
to automatically back up the contents of the data directory to a removable Zip disk
