There may be some restrictions if you are using Admin Domains. See "Managing administrative domains" on page 143 for details. Messages captured in the logs Configuration download generates both RASLog and Audit log messages resulting from execution of the configDownload command. The following messages are written to the logs: • configDownload completed successfully ... (RASLog and Audit log) • configUpload completed successfully ... (RASLog) • configDownload not permitted ... (Audit log) • configUpload not permitted ... (RASLog) • (Warning) Downloading configuration without disabling the switch was unsuccessful. (Audit log) Restoring configurations in a FICON environment If the switch is operating in a FICON CUP environment, and the ASM (active=saved) bit is set on, then the switch ignores the IPL file downloaded when you restore a configuration. Table 43 describes this behavior in more detail. Table 43 Backup and restore in a FICON CUP environment ASM bit Command Description on or off on off configUpload All the files saved in the file access facility are uploaded to the management workstation. A section in the uploaded configuration file labeled FICON_CUP is in an encoded format. configDownload Files saved on the switch that are also present in the FICON_CUP section of the configuration file are overwritten. Files in the FICON section of the configuration file that are not currently present on the switch are saved. The IPL file is not replaced, because active=saved mode is on. A warning message is displayed in the syslog to warn that the IPL file is not being overwritten. configDownload Files saved on the switch that are also present in the FICON_CUP section of the configuration file are overwritten. Files in the FICON section of the configuration file that are not currently present on the switch are saved. The IPL file is replaced, because active=saved mode is off. If fmsmode is enabled in a configuration file, but is disabled on the switch, the configDownload command fails and displays an error message. This prevents undesirable conditions that could result from enabling fmsmode on a switch that does not require it. Downloading configurations across a fabric To save time when configuring fabric parameters and software features, you can save a configuration file from one switch and download it to other switches of the same model type, as shown in the following procedure. Do not download a configuration file from one switch to another switch that is a different model, because it can cause the switch to fail. If you need to reset affected switches, issue the configDefault command. NOTE: In some cases, the configRemoveAll root command is required for reset, in which case you should contact your system administrator. 140 Maintaining configurations
