CAUTION: Restoring a Virtual Connect domain configuration from a backup file that was created on another Virtual Connect domain is not supported and can cause serious faults within this and other Virtual Connect Domains within the environment. The restore selection and configuration files should only be used to restore the same previously existing domain.

3.Select the Ignore firmware version in restored configuration file checkbox to allow restoring a domain configuration from a backup file that was created using a different version of VC firmware.

IMPORTANT: Restoring a configuration from a backup file saved by firmware version later than what is currently running is not supported. For example, if you are currently running Virtual Connect v3.60, you can restore a configuration from a backup file that was created using v3.10 or v3.51, but not v3.70.

4.Enter the appropriate key if the configuration file is encrypted.

This field is required when the domain is in FIPS mode. The key must be at least eight characters.

5.If an encryption key was entered, confirm the encryption key. Both keys must match to proceed.

6.Click Restore Configuration.

7.Confirm the domain configuration to be restored, and then click OK.

If restoring a configuration file that has multiple enclosures, each remote enclosure must be re-authenticated for security reasons.

For more information, see "Recovering remote enclosures (on page 285)."
