Backing up the VMPS Configuration File
Use the VMPS configuration file backup feature to prevent delays after a power shutdown when the
VMPS clients and servers are coming back online. After a power shutdown, the VMPS requests that are
sent by the clients are queued by the TFTP server until the VMPS server downloads the VMPS
configuration file from the VMPS server. To ensure that the client access is not delayed during a system
reboot, you can configure the switch to back up the VMPS configuration file locally and use this file
until it is has downloaded the current VMPS configuration file from the remote TFTP server.
To configure the switch to back up the VMPS configuration file, perform this task in privileged mode:
