2 configUpload DIAGNOSTICS -fid FID 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 Uploads all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration for all logical switches. -switch Uploads the switch configuration only. This operand is not valid in VF mode. "host" 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. "user" Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional. "path" 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. "passwd" Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional. -local Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on the local chassis. This option requires a file name. -USB | -U Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on an attached USB device. This option requires a file name. "file" Specifies the file name. Quotation marks are optional. This parameter is valid only with the -local or -USB options, each of which stores files in a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. -force Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with the -local or -USB options. When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload runs in interactive mode. The configuration upload may fail for one or more of the following reasons: • The host name is not known to the switch. • The host IP address cannot be contacted. • The user does not have permission on the host. • The FTP server is not running on the host. 154 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1002746-01
