Backing Up the NIC Teaming Configuration

Syntax

OCTeamCmd.exe backup <filename>

Parameters

Description

This command stores a backup of the current NIC teaming configuration in the

specified file. If the specified file exists, the command returns an error. You can include

a directory path in addition to the filename. If no directory path is specified, the backup

file is placed in the current working directory. Any directory path that you specify must

exist and must be absolute or relative to the current working directory. If the directory

path name or the file name contains spaces, then you must enclose the entire file

specification in quotes or double quotes.
In addition to the configuration information, the server name of the machine that

created the backup and the list of NIC adapters present are included in the backup

data. Backup files are saved as simple text files.

Note: Backup files should not be edited or altered.

Use the backup option after a teaming configuration is complete or has changed. Use

the restore option when you want to:

Replicate a server

Rebuild a server

Replace a failed adapter

Change a current configuration to a previous one

Example

c:\Program Files\Emulex\NIC Teaming>OcTeamCmd.exe backup backup.txt
