HP 3Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 77)

Capturing the configuration
After initially configuring the switch or after making changes to an existing configuration, HP
strongly recommends backing up the configuration for safekeeping.
NOTE: The configuration can be backed up to an FTP server or temporarily saved to the switch
and then transferred to a different location using a secure copy tool. Example secure copy tools
include pscp.exe for Windows and scp for Linux.
Syntax <target> capture [ file=<filename.txt> ] [ ftp ]
[ ipaddr=<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ] [ user=<ftp_username> ]
[ password=<ftp_password> ]
Example 1: This example demonstrates backing up the configuration to an FTP server.
=> sw local capture file=commands.txt ftp ipaddr=111.222.333.444
Example 2: This example demonstrates capturing the configuration to a temporary location on the
switch and then copying to a Windows system.
1. Enter the following to create a file named config.txt and save it in the /var/tmp directory
on the switch:
=> sw local capture file=/var/tmp/config.txt
2. Enter the following to copy the config.txt file from the temporary directory on the switch
to a folder on the server:
In Windows environments, enter a command similar to the following:
pscp -scp [email protected]:/var/tmp/config.txt c:\backup
In Linux environments, enter a command similar to the following:
scp [email protected]:/var/tmp/config.txt /home/userXXX/.
