Backing Up The Startup Configuration File; Deleting A Startup Configuration File - HP A5830 Series Configuration Manual

Task...
Specify a startup configuration file
of all member switches.

Backing up the startup configuration file

The backup function allows copying the startup configuration file from the device to the TFTP server.
The backup operation backs up the main startup configuration file to the TFTP server.
Before the backup operation, perform the following steps:
Verify that the server is reachable and enabled with TFTP service, and the client has the read and
•
write permission.
Use the display startup command (in user view) to check whether you have specified a startup
•
configuration file. If the file is set as NULL or does not exist, the backup operation fails.
Task...
Back up the startup configuration
file to the specified TFTP server.

Deleting a startup configuration file

CAUTION:
This command permanently deletes startup configuration files from all member switches. Use the
command with caution.
Delete a startup configuration file if:
After you upgrade system software, the existing startup configuration files do not match the new
•
system software.
Startup configuration files are corrupted, which is often caused by loading an incorrect configuration
•
file.
Delete a startup configuration file at the CLI.
Delete the main, or the backup, or both.
•
If the device has only one startup configuration file, the system sets only that startup configuration file
•
to NULL.
