Restoring a Switch
Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the
switch. The administrative state of the switch must be set to “offline” using the
Switch Properties dialog before an archive can be used in the restore process.
The switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored. For
example, you can not restore a SANbox 3810 switch with a SANbox 9000 Series
switch archive. Refer to
”Archiving a Switch” on page 3-34
for more information.
To restore a switch, do the following:
1.
Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot
restore a switch over an ISL.
2.
Open the Switch menu and select
Restore
to display the Restore dialog
(
Figure 3-14
). The Restore dialog offers a
Full Restore
and a
Selective
Restore
tab.
Figure 3-14 Restore Dialogs – Full and Selective
CAUTION!
The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from
the fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the
fabric. After the restore process is complete, the switch can be
reconnected to the fabric.
