Restoring Logical Switch Configuration Using Configdownload - HP SN3000B Administrator's Manual

Example of configUpload of a logical switch configuration

Restoring logical switch configuration using configDownload

The configDownload -vf command specifies that the Virtual Fabrics configuration download file is
downloaded instead of the regular configuration. After the Virtual Fabrics configuration file is
downloaded, the switch is automatically rebooted.
On dual-CP platforms, if CPs are incompatible (HA not in sync), the Virtual Fabrics configuration file
is not propagated to the standby CP. Otherwise, the active CP attempts to remain active after the
reboot, and the new Virtual Fabrics configuration file is then propagated to the standby CP.
CAUTION
You must issue the configDownload command on the switch after restoring the Virtual Fabrics
configuration to fully restore your switch or chassis configuration.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the configDownload -vf command.
3. Respond to the prompts.
4. Enter the configDownload command.
5. Respond to the prompts.
6. Verify the LISL ports are set up correctly.
