11 Using Baseline Configurations for Configuration Management Comparing Switches to a Baseline Switch This section provides information about comparing the configuration data of switches to a switch that you select to be the baseline switch. When you compare the configuration of a switch to a baseline switch, Fabric Manager identifies and lists each parameter that does not match. You should compare the configuration of one or more switches to a baseline if you plan to merge two fabrics, add a new switch to a fabric, verify that Fabric Watch and SNMP settings are consistent across a fabric, or troubleshoot the problem if a fabric segments. To compare switches to a baseline switch 1. Select Tasks > Configuration Management > Compare/Download from Switch. The Compare/Download from Switch -- Source Configuration Selection window opens (see Figure 11-18). Figure 11-18 Compare/Download from Switch 2. Navigate to the switch that you want to use as a baseline and click the right-arrow to move that switch to the right-hand side of the window. 3. Click OK. The Compare/Download from Switch -- Target Switch Selection window opens. 4. From the SAN Elements tab, select the switches that you want to compare to the baseline file and click the right-arrow or drag the switches to move them to the right-hand window. You can use Ctrl-click or Shift-click to select multiple switches. 5. Click OK. 6. The Compare/Download from Switch -- Switch Configuration comparison and Download window displays and compares the configurations of the switches to the baseline. (See Figure 11-17.) 7. Click Apply Baseline to apply this baseline to the switches that you selected. 11-18 Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP
