Configuration Symptom The configuration download fails NOTE Root access is required to see the mentioned path. ∙ 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. ∙ There was a reason to disable the switch. Note, however, that you must disable the switch for some configuration downloads. For more information on how to perform a configuration download without disabling a switch, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide . ∙ You do not have permission on the host to perform configuration download. There may be some restrictions if you are using Admin Domains or Role-Based Access Control. For more information on these types of restrictions, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide . ∙ The configuration file you are trying to download does not exist on the host. ∙ The configuration file you are trying to download is not a switch configuration file. ∙ If you selected the (default) FTP protocol, the FTP server is not running on the host. ∙ The configuration file that you are trying to download uses incorrect syntax. ∙ The user name and password are incorrect. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action The switch reboots during the configuration download. If you are issuing the command with the -vf option, the rebooting is normal. You can continue with the instructions. Otherwise, issue the command again as follows. ∙ Enter the configDownload -vf command to download Virtual Fabrics-related data. This causes both CPs to reboot. ∙ Enter the configDownload command, without the -vf operand, to download the regular configuration data. This step does not cause a reboot. However, the configDownload command issues a notice that "A switch reboot is required for the changes to take effect." There is no reliable mechanism to determine, which parameters may or may not require a reboot. To ensure that all configuration changes are applied correctly, Brocade strongly recommends that you always reboot the switch after a configuration download. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Configuration did not seem to change after the configuration download process finished. Verify that the switch was rebooted by checking the system log. If you are doing this on a enterprise-class platform, verify that both CPs rebooted by checking the system log. If any error occurs during the download, such as an error about a particular key, it is important to issue the configDefault command and attempt to repeat the configDownload command. Gathering additional information Be sure to capture the output from the commands you are issuing both from the switch and from your computer when you are analyzing the problem.
