Restoring the Configuration of your ESX 3i Host

To restore a host’s configuration data:

1Power off any virtual machines that are running on the host you want to restore.

2(Optional) Restore the host to the build number used when the backup file was created. The backup process does not support restoring to later builds; though, this can be overridden this requirement by using the –f option. Use at your own risk.

3On a host other than the one you want to restore, start the RCLI, log in.

4Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the –l flag to load and restore the backup file to the host.

The -portnumber and -protocol options are optional. If you exclude them, the defaults are port 443 and protocol HTTPS.

If you do not specify a password in the command line, you will be prompted for one when the command executes.

EX: vicfg-cfgbackup --server 172.17.13.211 --username root –l backupdate.dat

Following a successful restore, the system will reboot using the new configuration.

Please consult the VMware ESX Server 3i Setup Guide for complete instructions for these backup and restore commands.
