Archiving a Switch

You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. Basically any data received by SANsurfer Switch Manager is archived. However, passwords are not archived with the user account information. Archived parameters include the following:

Switch properties and statistics

IP configuration

SNMP configuration

Port properties and statistics

Alarm configuration

Zoning configuration

This archive file can be used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric. Security settings and user account information are not archived. The archive can be used later to restore the switch. Refer to ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-29for more information.

To archive a switch, do the following:

1.Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Archive.

2.In the Save dialog, enter a file name.

3.Click the Save button.

Restoring a Switch

Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored. The switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored; that is, you can restore a SANbox 5200 Series switch only with an archive from a SANbox 5200 Series switch. Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-29for more information.

CAUTION! The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from the fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the fabric. After the restore process is complete, the switch can be reconnected to the fabric.

To restore a switch, do the following:

1.Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot restore a switch over an ISL.
