Restoring a Switch
Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the
switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it
can be restored. The
switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored; that is, you can
restore a
SANbox 5200 Series
switch only with an archive from a
SANbox 5200
Series
switch. Refer to
”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-37
for more information.
To restore a switch, do the following:
1.
Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot
restore a switch over an ISL.
2.
Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select
Restore
to display
the Restore dialog shown in
Figure 4-16
. The Restore dialog offers a
Full
Restore
and a
Selective Restore
tab.
Figure 4-16. Restore Dialogs – Full and Selective
CAUTION!
The switch being restored should be physically disconnected
from the fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely
disrupt the fabric. After the restore process is complete, the
switch can be reconnected to the fabric.
