System ID Mismatch — System IDs do not match between the saved NV file
and the target system. Mismatches in system IDs are allowed. Before
restoring the NV data to a system with a different system ID, you should be
aware of the following NV data that may cause problems when restored:
Management IP addresses (defined in IP interface configurations) are saved
as NV data and restored. Before connecting the restored system to the
network, you may need to change the IP address of defined interfaces to
avoid duplicate IP address problems. Modifying IP interface definitions is
described on page 3-9.
Statically configured Ethernet addresses on switching modules are saved as
NV data. You must ensure not to have duplicate addresses when you restore
the NV data. Listing statically configured addresses is described on
page 13-12.
Subset or Superset — The module configuration is a superset or subset of
the original system, and the software proposes a mapping. If one or more
exact matches are found, the proposed mapping consists only of the exact
matches. This would be useful if modules had been removed from a system
or modules were added. You would have to individually configure the
modules not in the saved set.
In a mismatch situation, if you decide not to use the proposal, the software
allows you to selectively restore individual modules. This is useful if you
have hot-swapped a module and you want to restore just the configuration
of that module. The data that you restore on a module is only the data on
that module. It does not include information stored on the LMM+ that
relates to that module.
It is possible to cause inconsistencies in the system during manual
assignment. Such an action must be made carefully.
If none of these rules succeed, it is illegal to apply the saved configuration
to the system.
To restore the NV data:
