configUpload

2

-fid FID

Uploads switch configuration data from a logical switch specified by its fabric ID.
This parameter is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions.

-chassis

Uploads chassis configuration only.

-all

Uploads all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration
for all logical switches.

-switch

Uploads the switch configuration only. This operand is not valid in VF mode.

"host"

Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host to which to upload the
configuration. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to set up
one or more DNS servers with dnsConfig. Quotation marks are optional.

"user"

Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional.

"path"

Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names
may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to
the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the
file is uploaded to an external host. Quotation marks are optional.

"passwd"

Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.

-local

Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on the local
chassis. This option requires a file name.

-USB | -U

Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on an attached
USB device. This option requires a file name.

"file"

Specifies the file name. Quotation marks are optional. This parameter is valid only
with the -local or -USB options, each of which stores files in a predetermined
directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore,
subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted.

-force

Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with
the -local or -USB options.

When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload runs in interactive
mode.

DIAGNOSTICS

The configuration upload may fail for one or more of the following reasons:

The host name is not known to the switch.

The host IP address cannot be contacted.

The user does not have permission on the host.

The FTP server is not running on the host.
