Archiving a switch
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. This archive file can be used
to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive
file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric.
Basically any data received by QuickTools is archived. Passwords are not archived. Security Group secrets
are not included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI after a restore.
Archived parameters include:
•
Switch properties and statistics
•
IP configuration
•
SNMP configuration
•
Port properties and statistics
•
Name server
•
Date/Time and NTP settings
•
Alarm configuration
•
Zoning configuration
•
Nicknames configuration
•
Call Home parameters
•
User account information (but not restored)
•
Configured security (available only with SSL connection to the switch).
•
RADIUS Server information (available only with SSL connection to the switch)
NOTE:
Security features must be configured using the CLI or Enterprise Fabric Management Suite. See the
HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about the
command line interface, and HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Enterprise
Fabric Management Suite User Guide for information about Enterprise Fabric Management Suite..
To archive a switch:
1.
Select Switch > Archive.
2.
In the Save dialog box, enter a file name.

Restoring a switch
Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the switch. The administrative
state of the switch must be set to Offline using the Switch Properties dialog box before an archive can be
used in the restore process. The switch type archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored. See
"Archiving a
switch" (page 74) for more information.
