Copying log files in maintenance mode (option 4)

The Copy Log Files option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You can use
FTP to download this file to the workstation, however, you must download logfile before resetting the
switch. For information about downloading files from the switch, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch command line interface guide.

Removing the switch configuration in maintenance mode (option 5)

The Remove Switch Config option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default
configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory defaults. See
configuration

Remaking the file system in maintenance mode (option 6)

The Remake Filesystem option resets the switch to the factory default values, including user accounts and
zoning. Use this option to recreate the file system when the switch configuration becomes corrupt because
of a loss of power. See
NOTE: If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes made to the fabric
configuration that involve that switch, such as password and zoning changes. You must then restore the
switch from an archived configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the switch.

Resetting the switch in maintenance mode (option 7)

The Reset Switch option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode, and reboots the switch using
the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image files that reside on the switch are deleted.

Updating the boot loader in maintenance mode (option 8)
