9. Back up the SAN I/O Module configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and following the prompts. This command uploads the SAN I/O Module configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module if necessary. Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. Changing from Fabric Switch mode to Access Gateway mode If your SAN I/O Module can run in Dual Function mode and is currently configured in Standard Full Fabric Switch mode you can enable Access Gateway mode using the following instructions. You can log into the SAN I/O Module and enable Access Gateway mode using either Web Tools or the SAN I/O Module command line interface (CLI). Notes • The module ships from the factory in either Access Gateway or Dual Function mode. In Dual Function mode, you can configure the module for either Access Gateway Mode or Full Fabric Switch mode without an additional license. The module is enabled for Full Fabric Switch mode as the default. If the module comes configured in Access Gateway mode, you will need an upgrade license to change to Dual Function mode. • Enabling Access Gateway mode is a disruptive process because the switch is disabled and rebooted.Once you enable the SAN I/O Module in Access Gateway mode, only a limited subset of Fabric OS commands are available and all fabric-related service requests are forwarded to the fabric switches. See the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide for more information. • When you enable Access Gateway mode some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security databases. To recover the information save the switch configuration before enabling Access Gateway mode. Web Tools Complete the following steps to enable Access Gateway mode using Web Tools. 1. From the management console, open a Web browser. 2. Enter the IP address of the SAN I/O Module into the Address field of the Web browser. See the Web Tools Administrator's Guide for more information on using Web Tools. 3. Log into Web Tools using the default administrative account. Login: admin Password: password 4.
