Saving and restoring monitor configurations 17 Saving and restoring monitor configurations To prevent the switch configuration flash from running out of memory, the number of monitors saved to flash memory is limited as follows: • The total number of EE monitors per port is limited to 16. • The total number of frame monitors per port is limited to 16. • The total number of monitors per switch is limited to 512. When there are more than 512 monitors in the system, monitors are saved to flash memory in the following order: • The EE monitors for each port (from 0 to MAX_PORT) • The frame monitors for each port EE monitors get preference saving to flash memory when the total number of monitors in a switch exceeds 512. If the total number of monitors per port or switch exceeds the limit, then you will receive an error message indicating the count has been exceeded and that some monitors have been discarded. 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Type one of the following commands, depending on the action you want to perform: • To save the current end-to-end and frame monitor configuration settings into nonvolatile memory, use the perfCfgSave command: switch:admin> perfcfgsave This will overwrite previously saved Performance Monitoring settings in FLASH. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Please wait ... Performance monitoring configuration saved in FLASH. • To restore a saved monitor configuration, use the perfCfgRestore command. For example, to restore the original performance monitor configuration after making several changes: switch:admin> perfcfgrestore This will overwrite current Performance Monitoring settings in RAM. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Please wait... Performance monitoring configuration restored from FLASH ROM. • To clear the previously saved performance monitoring configuration settings from nonvolatile memory, use the perfCfgClear command: switch:admin> perfcfgclear This will clear Performance Monitoring settings in FLASH. The RAM settings won't change. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Please wait... Committing configuration...done. Performance Monitoring configuration cleared from FLASH. Performance data collection Data collected through Advanced Performance Monitoring is deleted when the switch is rebooted. Using the Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) Enterprise Edition, you can store performance data persistently. For details on this feature, see the DCFM User's Manual (Enterprise Edition).
