restore import Restores configuration settings to the switch from a configuration backup file named configdata. You can create a backup file using the config backup command. Typically, you would upload this backup file from a server using FTP. The optional import operand imports the backup file from a remote server, prompting you for an account name, server IP address or DNS host name, configuration file name on the server, and a password if the server requires one. When the upload is complete, the switch restores the configuration. After the restore is complete, the switch automatically resets. See "Backing up and restoring a switch configuration" on page 50. NOTE: • If the restore process changes the IP address, use the set setup system command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. If the IP address is unknown, you must place the switch in maintenance mode and reset the network configuration to restore the default IP address 10.0.0.1. For information about using maintenance mode, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch installation and reference guide. • Configuration archive files created with the QuickTools Archive function are not compatible with the config restore command. • The configdata backup file does not include the security group primary or secondary secrets and therefore are not restored. Unless you edit the security database and reconfigure the secrets, the switch will be isolated from the fabric. save [config_name] Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration given by [config_name].

8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide

restore
import
Restores configuration settings to the switch from a configuration backup file named
configdata
. You can create a backup file using the
config backup
command. Typically,
you would upload this backup file from a server using FTP.
The optional
import
operand imports the backup file from a remote server, prompting you for
an account name, server IP address or DNS host name, configuration file name on the server,
and a password if the server requires one. When the upload is complete, the switch restores the
configuration.
After the restore is complete, the switch automatically resets. See ”
Backing up and restoring a
switch configuration
” on page 50.
NOTE:
If the restore process changes the IP address, use the
set setup system
command to
return the IP configuration to the values you want. If the IP address is unknown, you must
place the switch in maintenance mode and reset the network configuration to restore the
default IP address 10.0.0.1. For information about using maintenance mode, see the
HP
StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch installation and reference guide
.
Configuration archive files created with the QuickTools Archive function are not
compatible with the
config restore
command.
The
configdata
backup file does not include the security group primary or secondary
secrets and therefore are not restored. Unless you edit the security database and
reconfigure the secrets, the switch will be isolated from the fabric.
save
[config_name]
Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration given by
[config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the value for [config_name] you chose for the most
recent
config edit
command is used. [config_name] can be up to 31 characters excluding #,
semicolon (;), and comma (,). The switch supports up to 10 configurations, including the default
configuration.
Notes
Changes you make to an active or inactive configuration can be saved, but will not take effect until
you activate that configuration.
Examples
The following shows an example of how to open and close a Config Edit session:
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> config edit
The config named default is being edited.
.
.
8/20q FC Switch (admin-config) #> config cancel
Configuration mode will be canceled. Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> admin end
The following is an example of how to create a backup file (
configdata
) and download the file to
the workstation.
8/20q FC Switch #> config backup
8/20q FC Switch #> exit
#>ftp
symbolic_name or ip_address
user: images
password: images
ftp> bin
ftp> get configdata
ftp> quit
