nvData reboot

To restore the NV data:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system nvData restore

You are prompted for information for restoring the NV data saved to a file. Press [Return] at a prompt to use the value specified in brackets. Any entry for IP address, file name, and user name becomes the new default.

2Enter the IP address of the host where the NV data file resides.

3Enter the NV data file path name.

4Enter your user name on the host system.

5Enter your password on the host system.

If the information is incorrect, or a connection could not be made with the specified host, a message similar to the following is displayed:

User Tom access denied:

Error: Could not open ftp session

If a session is successfully opened, the system reads the header information, compares the stored configuration to the current system configuration, and proposes a method of restoration based on one of the restoration rules described on page 6-3.

You are prompted to load the proposal.

CAUTION - Restoring nonvolatile data may leave the system in an inconsistent state and therefore a reboot is necessary after each restore.

Do you wish to continue? (y/n):

6Enter y (yes) if you want to use the proposal. If you do not want to use the proposal, enter n (no).

If you enter y, the system NV is restored as proposed.

7 At the end of a restore, press [Return] to reboot the system.
