Replicating the Configuration of the Integrated
Administrator
NOTE:
The Integrated Administrator does not support this task using the Web-based user interface.
To set up several enclosures with the same configuration, configure one enclosure (such as add all user
accounts, add all groups, and assign bays) and then replicate that configuration on the other
enclosures.
To replicate the configuration of the Integrated Administrator using the CLI:
1.
Login as Administrator on the first enclosure.
2.
Type:
UPLOAD CONFIG <url>
. This command uploads the current runtime configuration to the
specified TFTP or FTP server. If your FTP server does not allow anonymous uploading, specify an
FTP username and password using the syntax:
ftp://username:password@ftpserver/filename
3.
Edit the uploaded configuration file using a text editor to customize the configuration (such as user
names, passwords, and network settings) for the other enclosures.
NOTE:
Step 4 only applies if the other enclosures have been configured previously.
NOTE:
For security reasons, passwords are never replicated in the configuration file.
4.
Restore the factory defaults on each of the other enclosures to clear any previous configuration:
a.
Login as Administrator on an enclosure to which you intend to replicate the configuration.
b.
Type:
SET FACTORY
. This command sets the Integrated Administrator back to its factory
default settings, although the password of the Administrator account does not change. The
Integrated Administrator is restarted after all the changes are implemented. IMPORTANT:
Only the Administrator account may execute this command.
5.
Download the configuration to each of the other enclosures:
a.
Log in as Administrator on an enclosure to which you intend to replicate the configuration.
b.
Type:
DOWNLOAD CONFIG <url>
. The Integrated Administrator does not check the
configuration file for errors, but auto-executes the file in script mode. The file is not allowed
to change the password of the Administrator account. Supported protocols are http, ftp, and
tftp. Format the URL as
protocol://host/path/file
. If your ftp server does not support
anonymous connections, specify a user name and password by replacing the host part in the
above format with
username:password@host
.
NOTE:
Step c applies only if you did not set user account passwords in the configuration
file.
c.
Set the password for each user account. For commands, see Chapter 5, in section “User
Account Commands.”
Administering Security Certificates
NOTE:
The Integrated Administrator does not support these tasks using the Web-based user
interface.
