Two types of configuration files can be uploaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configuration parameters. Use the -vf option to upload Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric configuration includes logical switch definitions, Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled), and the internal port (F_Port) trunking ports. The file should be named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguish it from the regular system configuration (config.txt). The xx indicates the platform ID. The platform ID is the same as the first two digits of the "switchType" parameter displayed by switchShow. Virtual Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platform type and share the same platform ID. Refer to configDownload for more information on the Virtual Fabric configuration. The system configuration data is uploaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of configUpload depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of the system configuration you wish to upload. • 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 system 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. 34 Dell 8/4Gbps FC SAN Module Administrator's Guide 53-1001345-01
