Backing up the configuration
Backing up the configuration
Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for
downloading to a replacement switch.
1.
Log in to the device as the admin user.
2.
Back up the device configuration to an FTP server by entering the configUpload command and following the prompts.
sb_70:admin> configupload
Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.0.100
User Name [user]: anonymous
Path/Filename [<home dir>/config.txt]: /dumps/supportsave/pz/switch85/G20-1.txt
Section (all|chassis|switch [all]): all
configUpload complete: All selected config parameters are uploaded
This command uploads the device configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement device if
necessary.
NOTE
If Virtual Fabrics (VF) is enabled, you must enter configUpload for each VF separately.
Powering down the device
Complete the following steps to power down the device.
1.
Shut down the Fabric OS software using the sysShutdown command.
2.
Identify the power-on switches in the nonport-side of the device.
3.
Power off both power supplies by setting each power switch to the "O" position.
4.
Unplug the power cables from the power source before servicing the device or FRUs.
All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.
