Scheduling a switch configuration back up
NOTE
This feature requires a Trial or Licensed version.
NOTE
The Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license must be activated on a switch to perform this
procedure and to use the supportSave module.
You can schedule a backup of one or more switch configurations. If a periodic backup is scheduled
at the SAN level, that backup will apply to all switches from all fabrics discovered. Any new fabrics
being discovered are automatically added to the list of fabrics to be backed up.
NOTE
If a backup is scheduled for more than one fabric and some of the fabrics contain common
members, the backup will include the unique switch configuration values obtained from the fabrics.
NOTE
The Management application enables you to save the same switch configuration to the repository
using two methods: on demand (Configure > Configuration > Save) or by defining a schedule
(Configuration > Schedule Backup).
The configuration files are stored in the Management application database.
Use this procedure to create a scheduled back up of switch configurations to the repository. To
save switch configurations to the repository on demand, refer to
“Saving switch configurations on
demand” on page 328.
1. Select Configure > Configuration > Schedule Backup.
The Schedule Backup of Switch Configurations dialog box displays.
