Restore system config – HP Command View for Tape Libraries Software User Manual

restore system config
Description
Restores the system configuration so that it matches the last saved configuration.
The system configuration includes the Interface Manager card, interfaces, and
licensed feature configuration.
Before using this command, the system configuration must have been saved
using the
command. The save system config command
creates a file called IM_save_snapshot.zip, which is saved in the ftp
directory of the Interface Manager card and Command View TL save current
configuration action creates a file name
IM_save_snapshot_<serialnumber>.zip
which is saved on the server
in a user picked location. With Interface Manager firmware i273 or lower
the Command view TL save configuration file has to be renamed
IM_save_snapshot
before putting it in the ftp directory. With I274 and
above the file can be both names. It also works if the CVTL file has the date
inserted before the .zip. One of these configuration files must be present in
the ftp directory before running the restore system config command.
If the saved configuration file is not named IM_save_snapshot.zip, it
must be renamed before the FTP process.
After entering this command, you are prompted to input whether you are sure
you want to restore the system configuration.
CAUTION:
This command causes reboots of all interfaces and all LTO4 and
later drives, causing backup operations to terminate, so ensure that there are
no backup operations in process when this command is executed.
CAUTION:
In I240 and above you can restore the configuration for two
major revisions back. For example, I270 can restore configurations saved
with I260 and I250. Saving and restoring the configuration must be done
with the same version of the Interface Manager firmware for I232 and below.
For example, you cannot save the configuration with Interface Manager
firmware version I230, upgrade to version I231, and then restore the
configuration.
