6-4 CHAPTER 6: SAVING, RESTORING, AND RESETTING NONVOLATILE DATA
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.
7At the end of a restore, press [Return] to reboot the system.
