Manage Configuration Data
The Element Manager provides maintenance options to back up, restore, or reset
the configuration files stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NV-RAM)
on both director CTP cards. Configuration data in the file includes:
■
Identification data (director name, description, and location).
■
Port configuration data (port names, blocked states, extended distance
settings).
■
Operating parameters (buffer-to-buffer credit [BB_Credit] value, error-detect
time-out value [E_D_TOV], resource allocation time-out value [R_A_TOV],
switch priority, and preferred domain ID).
■
SNMP configuration information, including trap recipients, community
names, and write authorizations.
■
Zoning configuration information, including the active zone set and default
zone state.
The backup file is not required in a redundant director. However, the feature is
available and may be useful to save a special-purpose configuration for test. The
director must be set offline prior to restoring or resetting the configuration file.
