Two types of configuration files can be downloaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configuration parameters. You must download both types of configuration data for the system to behave as expected. You can use FTP or SCP to download configuration files from a remote host, or you can retrieve the configuration files from a predetermined directory on the local system, or from an attached USB device. Use the -vf option to download the Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric configuration file includes logical switch definitions for a specific platform, the platform ID, Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled), and F_Port trunking ports. The file should be named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguish it from the regular system configuration (config.txt). The xx indicates the platform ID. Virtual Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platform type and share the same platform ID. If the platform ID contained in the header of the configuration file does not match the platform ID of the system to which it is downloaded, configDownload fails. When you download a switch-conf_xx.txt file, all attributes defined in this file are downloaded to the system and take effect with the exception of LISL ports. The LISL ports on the system are not affected by this download. The system configuration data is downloaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of configDownload depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of the system configuration you wish to download. • In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command downloads the switch configuration to the current logical switch only. An Admin user with chassis permissions can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration downloads: - Download the switch configuration to a specified logical switch (-fid FID). - Download the switch configuration from a specified logical switch source (-sfid FID) to a specified logical switch target (-fid FID). - Download the chassis configuration only (-chassis). 106 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
