Managing Switch Configurations; Displaying A List Of Switch Configurations; Activating A Switch Configuration; Copying A Switch Configuration - HP StorageWorks 8/20q Command Line Interface Manual

Managing switch configurations

The switch configuration determines the basic operational characteristics of the switch. A switch can store
up to 10 configurations, including the default configuration (Default Config). The current switch
operating characteristics are determined by the active configuration. Only one configuration can be active
at a time.
Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration
components.

Displaying a list of switch configurations

To display the configurations stored on the switch, enter the config list command, as shown in the
following example. Notice that the config list command does not require an Admin session.

Activating a switch configuration

To activate a switch configuration (config_1), enter the config activate command in an Admin
session, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) config activate config_1

Copying a switch configuration

To create a copy of an existing configuration, enter the config copy command in an Admin session, as
shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) config copy config_1 config_2

Deleting a switch configuration

To delete a configuration from the switch, enter the config delete command in an Admin session, as
shown in the following example. You cannot delete either the active configuration or the default
configuration (Default Config).
