CNA-8000 Installation and Configuration
707158-003 2-17
Save/Restore Configuration Panel
Selecting the Save/Restore option from the Configuration panel will display the
following panel.
From this panel you can save, delete, and restore configurations. Multiple configurations
for the CNA-8000 can be kept at one time; one active configuration and multiple
previously saved configurations. You may also copy the current configuration to a USB
drive or copy configuration files from a USB drive onto the CNA-8000.
When saving a configuration, a name is assigned and the date and time are recorded. This
information is displayed on this panel along with buttons that can be used to activate
inactive configurations, or delete them. The configuration that is currently active is
identified on this panel also. (Note that the currently active configuration is not
necessarily the one that the platform booted on, and is currently functional.) Changes
made to the current configuration are saved as part of the current configuration
automatically. You do not need to save the current configuration with this utility unless
you desire to save a snapshot of what the current configuration is (for possible use later).
If you need to work with multiple configurations, then you will want to save a copy of
each of those configurations.
A newly reactivated configuration will not take affect until the CNA-8000 is either
restarted or rebooted, depending on the option changes.
Among the options that may require a reboot are:
 ESCON Options have changed
 Ethernet MAC address has changed
 Token Ring MAC address has changed
