Transferring Configuration Images
Hardware and software options selected via the Terminal Interface for an AAC are stored in a configuration
image on the device. The configuration image can be transferred (uploaded) from the AAC device to the HP
OpenView host and stored in a UNIX file. Conversely, a configuration image can be transferred from the HP
OpenView host to the AAC device (downloaded). You can use such image transfers to back up the AAC’s
configuration or to establish or restore the configuration of an AAC in the event of a disaster recovery. Each
configuration is specific to the device from which it was uploaded. You cannot download from one AAC to
another.
Uploading Configuration Images
To upload the configuration image from the AAC, perform the following steps:
1. Select the map window which contains the AAC that you want to upload from.
2. Select the AAC device symbol on the HP OpenView Map.
3. Open a Terminal Interface window as described in the previous section.
NOTE
Uploading configuration images requires that you be logged
onto the Terminal Interface as either
Superuser or Manager.
4. Select Administer–>OneVision Device Mgmt–>AAC Manager–>Configuration Upload/Download.
NOTE
If you connect to the Terminal Interface using
Misc–>Terminal
Connect–>Telnet (xterm), you will not be able to upload or
download configuration images.
The Upload/Download window appears (see
Figure 3
).
5. Click on Select.
The File Selection Window appears (see
Figure 4
).
