Virtual Connect domains 29
Domain Settings (Backup/Restore) screen
Use this screen to create a backup file of the Virtual Connect domain configuration to restore a configuration
that has been lost, or to revert to a previously saved configuration. The domain configuration includes
network definitions, MAC address settings, WWN settings, Fibre Channel fabric settings, local user
accounts, and server profile definitions. The backup file stores the same information that is check-pointed
between the primary and backup modules during normal operation.
Only users with Save Domain Configuration role operation permissions can perform a backup operation.
Only users with Restore Domain Configuration role operation permissions can perform a domain restore. For
more information, see "Role Management (Role Operations) screen (on page 84 )."
CAUTION: To avoid loss of data, do not close the browser window containing the VCM GUI
during backup or restore operations. If the browser window is closed, you must close and then
restart the browser.
To back up a domain configuration:
1. Enter an encryption key to encrypt the configuration file.
2. Click Backup Configuration.
3. Navigate to the hard drive location where you want to save the configuration file.
4. Name the file (usually the domain name), and then click Save.
To restore a domain configuration:
1. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the saved configuration file, select the file, and then click
Open.
2. Select the Ignore enclosure serial number in restored configuration file checkbox to restore a
configuration that was generated on another enclosure. If this item is not selected, a configuration
generated on another enclosure is rejected. This option is relevant to the primary/local enclosure only.
