Configuration
Management Setting
Description
Restore
Configuration from
Client
Returns the SLM settings to a previously saved configuration. If you select this
option, the SLM reboots after you apply the update. If you select this option, the
Browse
button becomes available. Browse to the saved configuration.
Restore
Configuration from
Local File
Restores the configuration to one saved on the SLM. Select the file from the drop-
down list.
Restore Factory
Defaults
Restores factory settings. If you select this option, the SLM reboots after you apply
the update. To keep specific groups of settings rather than restoring defaults,
select one or more of the following options:
Preserve Network Settings
This option preserves the settings on the Network Settings and the Services
page.
Preserve User Accounts
Preserve Devices & Ports
This option preserves Ethernet and managed devices and their groups.
Preserve SSH Keys
This option preserves existing SSH Keys in the database for use with the
restored system.
The four preserve options apply to any of the restore options. If you select a
preserve option, then after restoration, all of the current "preserved" items are
deleted, and the preserved items from before the restore are re-inserted.
Example:
You restore to a backup file but elect to preserve user accounts. The
SLM is restored to the contents of the backup file, then all accounts (including any
that were just restored) are deleted, and lastly, all the accounts, account groups,
and notes about account groups that were present before the restore operation are
added to the system.
The same is true for devices and ports. If you preserve devices and ports, all
associations with account groups are lost, even if both accounts and devices are
preserved.
Note:
If you select any of the three Restore operations, the SLM saves the current
configuration in the SLM Configuration Files directory using the name
autoConfigSaveYYMMDDHHMMSS.slm before performing the restore command.
