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. Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-15for more information.

It is good practice to archive and restore configurations from like switches. This means restoring a SANbox2-16 switch with a SANbox2-16 archive file, or restoring a SANbox2-8c with a SANbox2-8c archive file. If it is necessary to restore a switch with a dissimilar archive file, consider the following:

■If you restore a SANbox2-8c switch with a SANbox2-16 archive file, the configuration for ports 0-7 on the SANbox2-8c switch will be restored. Archive information for ports 8-15 will be ignored.

■If you restore a SANbox2-16 switch with a SANbox2-8c archive file, the configuration for ports 0-7 on the SANbox2-16 switch will be restored. Ports 8-15 wil be unchanged.

The Restore menu item is not available for the inband switches. You can only restore a switch out-of-band (the fabric management switch). To restore a switch, do the following:

1.Open the Switch menu and select Restore.

2.In the Restore window, enter the switch configuration file name or browse for the file.

3.Choose the Restore button.

Loading Firmware

The switch does not have to offline to download firmware. However, the switch must be reset to activate the new firmware, which does require admin authority. SANbox Manager will prompt you to reset the switch after the firmware is loaded. The To load firmware to a switch, do the following:

1.In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load Firmware.

2.In the Firmware Upload window, choose the Select button to browse and select the firmware file to be uploaded.

3.Choose the Start button to begin the firmware load process.

4.When the loading is complete, choose the Close button to close the Firmware Upload window.

5.The application prompts you to reset the switch. Choose the OK button to reset the switch and implement the new firmware.
