HP 2/8q Fibre Channel manual Edit configname

Command Line Interface

COPY [config_source] [config_destination]

Copies the configuration given by [config_source] to the configuration given by [config_destination]. The switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.

DELETE [config_name]

Deletes the configuration given by [config_name] from the switch.

EDIT [config_name]

Opens an edit session for the configuration given by [config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the currently active configuration is used.

LIST

Displays a list of all available configurations on the switch. This keyword does not require an admin session.

RESTORE

Restores configuration settings to an out-of-band switch from a backup file named configdata, which must be first uploaded on the switch using FTP. You create the backup file using the Config Backup command. Use FTP to load the backup file on a switch, and then enter the Config Restore command. After the restore is complete, the switch automatically resets. See “Backing up a switch configuration” on page 114.

Note:

■If the restore process changes the IP address, all management sessions are terminated. Use the Set Setup System command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. See the “Set Setup command” on page 147.

■Configuration archive files created with the Switch Manager Archive function are not compatible with the Config Restore command.

SAVE [config_name]

Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration given by [config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the value for [config_name] you chose for the most recent Config Edit command is used. [config_name] can be up to 31 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.

Notes

If you edit the active configuration, changes are held in suspense until you reactivate the configuration or activate another configuration.

Examples

The following shows an example of how to open and close a Config Edit session:

2/8q FC Switch #> admin start
