Important Considerations

Before you attempt to restore the data to a system that has a different system ID, be aware that the following types of NV data may cause problems when they are restored:

Management IP addresses (defined in IP interface configurations) are saved as NV data and restored. To avoid duplicate IP address problems, you may need to change the IP address of defined interfaces before you connect the restored system to the network.

Statically configured Ethernet addresses are saved as NV data. Verify that you have no duplicate addresses when you restore the NV data.
