chassis ID is available through the licenseIdShow command. The licenseShow and

Backing up the configuration

Save all key configuration data for the DC04 SAN Director, including license key information, and
upload it to a host for reference. Routine backups of the configuration are recommended to ensure
that the current configuration is available.
After zoning configurations and other changes are complete, back up the configuration by typing
configUpload at the prompt. This command uploads the DC04 SAN Director configuration to the
server so that it is available for downloading to a replacement DC04 SAN Director.
An easy way to back up configuration information is to enable logging on your Telnet session, and
then run the following commands and save the output in a file on a secure host.
•
configShow
•
ipaddrShow
•
licenseShow
•
switchShow
Keep copies of key data such as passwords, license keys, and IP addresses in a secure location.
NOTE:
Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configUpload.
