Configuration file restoration
8
If you need to set up your switch again, run the commands listed in Table 44 and save the output in
a file format. Store the files in a safe place for emergency reference.
CAUTION
Though the switch itself has advanced error checking, the configdownload feature within
Fabric OS was not designed for users to edit, and is limited in its ability. Edited files can therefore
become corrupted and can lead to switch failures.
-all The number of switches or FIDs defined in the downloaded configuration file
must match the number of switches or FIDs currently defined on the switch.
The switches must be disabled first. If they are not, the configDownload
command will download the configuration for as many switches as possible until
a non-disabled switch is found. Then it will stop. Before running the
configDownload command, verify if any switches need to be disabled.
If you are performing a configuration download due to a configuration error, it is
highly recommended to run the configDefault command before running the
configDownload command. Refer to
“Configuration download without disabling a
switch” on page 184 for more information on non-disruptive configuration
downloads.
If Virtual Fabrics mode is enabled, the chassisDisable and chassisEnable
commands are used to disable all logical switches on the affected switch. This
bypasses the need to disable and enable each switch individually once the
configuration download has completed.
Non-Virtual Fabric configuration files downloaded to a Virtual Fabric system have
configuration applied only to the default switch. If there are multiple logical
switches created in a Virtual Fabric-enabled system, there could be some issues
if there are ports that belong to the default switch in a Virtual Fabric-disabled
system, but are now assigned to logical switches in a Virtual Fabric-enabled
system. Only configurations related to ports within the default switch are applied.
