Save and Restore XSCF Configuration
Information
To save/restore the XSCF configuration information, execute the dumpconfig(8)
and the restoreconfig(8) command in the XSCF Shell. When the command is
executed with some options, all XSCF configuration information is saved at the
specified location and is restored from the specified location.
Note – The saving and restoring functions of the XSCF configuration by XSCF Shell
command are supported only on M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers that
run certain versions of XCP firmware (beginning with XCP 1080). For specific
information about these minimum firmware requirements, see the latest version of
the Product Notes (no earlier than the XCP 1080 edition) for your server.
The XSCF configuration information can be saved in the device and can be restored
using one of the following two methods.
The configuration information can be saved and restored when a USB device has
■
been connected to the USB connector mounted on the XSCF Unit front panel of
the M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers or rear panel of the M3000 server.
The configuration data is transmitted through the network with an encryption
■
protocol.
Saving and Restoring Notes
The USB device should only be formatted using the FAT32 file system. Please ask
■
authorized service personnel about the USB capacity and the handling of USB
devices.
You can restore the configuration information only to a system of the same model
■
as where the information was saved. For instance, the configuration information
saved in the M4000 server can be restored only to another M4000 server. The
consistency of a current system configuration file and a restored file are checked
when data is restored. When it is consistent with the configuration files, such as
version, system name, the data can be restored. In addition, the version of
configuration files doesn't depend on XCP version. Even if the XCP versions is the
same when data is saved and restored, the versions of each configuration file
might be different.
In the M8000/M9000 server, the configuration information can be saved from
■
either an Active or Standby XSCF Unit. However, restoring can be done only to an
Active XSCF Unit.
