Restoring and modifying your ASM configuration
You can restore a saved configuration in full, or you can modify key fields in the
saved configuration before restoring the configuration to your Remote Supervisor
Adapter II. By modifying the configuration file before restoring it, you can set up
multiple Remote Supervisor Adapter IIs with similar configurations. You can quickly
specify parameters that require unique values such as names and IP addresses,
without having to enter common, shared information.
To restore or modify your current configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II where you want to restore the
configuration. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the
Web interface,” on page 5.
2. In the navigation pane, click Configuration File .
3. In the Restore ASM Configuration area, click Browse .
4. Click the configuration file that you want; then, click Open . The file (including
the full path) appears in the box beside Browse .
5. If you do not want to make changes to the configuration file, click Restore . A
new window opens with the ASM configuration information. Make sure that this
is the configuration that you want to restore. If it is not the correct
configuration, click Cancel .
If you want to make changes to the configuration file before restoring, click
Modify and Restore to open an editable configuration summary window.
Initially, only the fields that allow changes appear. To change between this view
and the complete configuration summary view, click the Toggle View button at
the top or bottom of the window. To modify the contents of a field, click the
corresponding text box and enter the data.
Note: When you click Restore or Modify and Restore , an alert window might
open if the configuration file that you are attempting to restore was
created by a different type of service processor or was created by the
same type of service processor with older firmware (and therefore, has
less functionality). This alert message will include a list of
system-management functions that you will have to configure after the
restoration is complete. Some functions require configurations on more
than one window.
6. To continue restoring this file to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II, click
Restore Configuration . A progress indicator appears as the firmware on the
Remote Supervisor Adapter II is updated. A confirmation window opens to
verify whether the update was successful.
