Reinitializing the Configuration File System

If the Heartbeat LED on the switch is the 4-blink pattern, the configuration file system may be corrupted. To recover the previous switch configuration, use the Config Restore command. The Heartbeat LED 4-blink pattern continues until a previous switch configuration is successfully restored. The Heartbeat LED is not reflected in the SANbox Manager.

Archiving a Switch

You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. Archived parameters include the following:

■Switch properties and statistics

■IP configuration

■SNMP configuration

■Port properties and statistics

■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 configurring 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 4-16for more information. To archive a switch, do the following:

1.Open the Switch menu and select Archive.

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

3.Choose the Save button.
