Backing Up The System Configuration Settings; Restoring The System Configuration Settings - HP StorageWorks 8B - FC Entry Switch Manual

Backing Up the System Configuration Settings

The two supplied utilities RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE, currently do not support uploads for
Windows, only downloads. Therefore, FTP must be used on Windows workstations to backup the
system configuration, and the FTP server must be running before an upload can occur.
To upload a backup copy of the configuration settings to a host computer:
1. Verify that the RSHD service (on a UNIX machine) or the FTP service (on a Windows
machine) is running on the host workstation.
2. Login to the switch as the admin user.
3. At the command line enter the following command:
configUpload "hostIPaddr", "user", "path_filename","password"
where hostIPaddr is the IP address of the host computer, user is the User ID used to log
into this computer, path_filename is the path location and filename of the configuration
file, and password is the password for the user ID specified.

machine) is running on the host workstation.

4. At the command line enter the following command:
