Configuration upload and download issues
It is important to maintain consistent configuration settings on all switches in the same fabric because inconsistent parameters (such as
inconsistent PID formats) can cause fabric segmentation. As part of standard configuration maintenance procedures, it is recommended
that you back up all important configuration data for every switch on a host computer server for emergency reference.
If the configuration download fails, you must examine the following aspects:
1.
Does it download the correct file for the switch?
2.
Is the switch logically partitioned and was the correct FID used?
3.
Was the switch changed recently with logical switch management such that FIDs may no longer correspond?
NOTE
For information about Virtual Fabrics using Fabric OS v6.3.0 or later, refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide
.
Symptom
The configuration upload fails.
Probable cause and recommended action
If the configuration upload fails, It may be because of one or more of the following reasons:
∙
The FTP or SCP server’s host name is not known to the switch.
Verify with your network administrator that the switch has access to the FTP server.
∙
The USB path is not correct.
If your platform supports a USB memory device, verify that it is connected and
running. Verify that the path name is correct by using the
usbStorage -l
command.
Example of usbStorage -l command
switch:admin> usbstorage -l

∙
The FTP or SCP server’s IP address cannot be contacted.
Verify that you can connect to the FTP server. Use your local PC to connect to the
FTP server or ping the FTP server.
