4 Maintaining configurations NOTE USB download is an option only on the Brocade DCX Director. Admin Domain considerations When you log in to the switch as a physical fabric administrator and back up a configuration, all local switch configuration parameters are saved, as well as all Admin Domain membership information and Admin Domain zone databases. You should perform these tasks in AD255 or AD0, when no other user-defined Admin Domains exist, to perform a config upload/download to gather all the configuration files for the fabric, including Admin Domains and iSCSI Target Gateway information. When the configuration is backed up one of the following scenarios are possible: • If the current Admin Domain does not own the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows config upload/download, the following will be saved in the config file: • Local zone configuration • iSCSI configuration (if any) • No other configuration information • If the current Admin Domain owns the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows config upload/download, the following will be saved in the configuration file: • Local zone configuration • iSCSI config (if any) • All other config information except Admin Domain configuration information • If you invoke it from AD255 and you are logged in with any role that allows config upload/download), the following will be saved in the configuration file: • Configuration information for zones in all Admin Domains • iSCSI configuration (if any) • All other configuration information, including zoning from all Admin Domains The filtering depends on the Admin Domain switch ownership, with additional access if you are in AD255. Access to the command itself is limited by Role-Based Access (RBAC), and not by whether the current user is a Physical Fabric Administrator or an admin user with enumerated access to the relevant domains. Creating a backup of a configuration file Keep a backup copy of the configuration file in case the configuration is lost or unintentional changes are made. You should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric. You should avoid copying configurations from one switch to another. 1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29. 2. Click the Configure tab. 3. Click the Upload/Download subtab (see Figure 29). 4. Click the Config Upload radio button. 5. Choose whether the download source is located on the network or a USB device. 54 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1000606-01
