Archiving a Switch
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters.
Basically any data received by SANsurfer Switch Manager is archived. However,
passwords are not archived with the user account information. Archived
parameters include the following:
„ Switch properties and statistics
„ IP configuration
„ SNMP configuration
„ Port properties and statistics
„ Alarm configuration
„ Zoning configuration
„ Configured security
„ RADIUS Server information
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. User account information is not
archived. The archive can be used later to restore the switch. Refer to
”Restoring
a Switch” on page 4-37 for more information.
To archive a switch, do the following:
1. Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Archive.
2. In the Save dialog, enter a file name.
3. Click the Save button.
