Backing up the configuration

Prior to backing up a switch configuration, you can check the switch configuration by initiating the
switchShow and fabricShow commands. The switchShow command displays switch and port
status; the fabricShow command displays fabric membership information.
Complete these steps to back up the switch configuration to an FTP server.
1. Open a Telnet or SSH session to the switch.
2. Enter configUpload, which uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available
3. Follow the prompts to upload the configuration.
It is recommended that you back up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete
configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch.
For specific instructions about how to back up a configuration, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide. For detailed information about the commands used in backing up a
configuration, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Resetting the switch to factory defaults

ATTENTION
Restoring the switch to factory defaults is disruptive. Before doing so, make sure any program using
the switch has an alternate path to the storage, and save the switch configuration. If the switch is
connected to an existing SAN, disconnect the switch from the SAN before restoring to factory
defaults, then follow proper setup procedures before reconnecting.
Use the CMM to reset the switch to factory defaults.
1. Open the CMM and log in with admin privileges.
2. Select I/O Module Tasks > Configuration.
3. Select the bay where the switch is installed.
4. Select Advanced Configuration.
5. Click Restore Defaults.
