HP LCS60 manual Copy Protection, Administration, Backup/Restore

Copy Protection

This release of the LCS60 is copy-protected and requires a personalized software key before it can be used. This number is assigned during the initial setup of the LCS60 using the lcsadm interface (refer to Chapter 3 for complete details). The copy-protection feature uses a release-specific software key; that is, Release 3 ser- vices can only be activated using the Release 3 key.

Features

Administration

The LCS60 has its own local management software package called lcsadm. This package allows a network administrator to configure services, administer service sessions, and collect performance measurement data. This administration tool can be accessed either through the LCS60 console port or through the multi- plexed fiber interface.

Note: The remote administration feature is delivered in the disabled state.

Instructions for enabling this feature are given in Chapter 8.

Backup/Restore

The LCS60 provides a backup/restore feature that allows an LCS60 to be config- ured as a backup/restore server. A backup/restore server can copy to its hard disk (i.e., back up) a predefined set of files/directories from multiple remote LCS60s (and LCS50Es) which are configured as backup/restore clients. The backup/restore server can also be configured as its own client.

Note: LCS60 R1.0 backups cannot be used to restore R3.0 systems.

The remote backup of clients is done disk-to-disk over the data switch network. Backups and restores may be initiated either from a server or from a client.

This feature allows multiple backups of configuration files to be stored, and any of several stored backups may be selected to be restored. Restores may be comprehensive or selective, as required.
