Configuration upload and download issues
It is important to maintain consistent configuration settings on all switches in the same fabric
because inconsistent parameters (such as inconsistent PID formats) can cause fabric
segmentation. As part of standard configuration maintenance procedures, it is recommended that
you back up all important configuration data for every switch on a host computer server for
emergency reference.
NOTE
For information about AD-enabled switches using Fabric OS v5.2.0 or later, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
For information about Virtual Fabrics using Fabric OS v6.3.0 or later, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
Symptom The configuration upload fails.
Probable cause and recommended action
If the configuration upload fails, It may be because of one or more of the following reasons:
• The FTP or SCP server’s host name is not known to the switch.
Verify with your network administrator that the switch has access to the FTP server.
• The USB path is not correct.
If your platform supports a USB memory device, verify that it is connected and running. Verify
that the path name is correct by using the usbStorage -l command.
Example of usbStorage -l command
switch:admin> usbstorage -l
