2. Select the switch configuration you want to download from the Saved Switch Configurations
table.
3. Click OK.
The configuration is downloaded to the device. If necessary, the restoration process prompts
you to disable and reboot the device before the configuration begins. This lets you determine
whether the configuration backup should be performed immediately or at a later time.
When you restore a switch configuration on a Virtual Fabrics-configured chassis, the
configuration data for the logical switches is downloaded to the switch as configured in the file.
When you restore a switch configuration on a logical switch, only the selected logical switch
configuration data is downloaded to the switch.
Scheduling switch configuration backup
NOTE
The Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license must be activated on a switch to perform this
procedure and to use the supportSave module.
You can schedule a backup of one or more switch configurations. If a periodic backup is scheduled
at the SAN level, that backup will apply to all switches from all fabrics discovered. Any new fabrics
being discovered are automatically added to the list of fabrics to be backed up.
NOTE
If a backup is scheduled for more than one fabric and some of the fabrics contain common
members, the backup will include the unique switch configuration values obtained from the fabrics.
Use this procedure to create a scheduled backup of switch configurations to the repository. To save
switch configurations to the repository on demand, refer to
“Saving switch configurations” on
page 633.
The configuration files are stored in the Management application database.
