Scheduling switch configuration backup
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.
Use this procedure to create a scheduled backup of switch configurations to the repository. To save
switch configurations to the repository on demand, refer to
“Saving switch configurations” on
page 475.
The configuration files are stored in the Management application database.
1. Select Configure > Configuration File > Schedule Backup.
