Saving and Restoring Teaming Configuration

QLogic recommends that you periodically save the configuration to prevent any accidental loss of network topology and settings. Current configuration including the teams, VLANs, and properties can be saved to a file. Restoring an earlier configuration results in the destruction of the current configuration.

To save a configuration:

1.On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.

2.On the shortcut menu, click Save to File.

3.Enter a location to save the configuration.

To restore a configuration:

1.On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.

2.On the shortcut menu, click Restore From File.

3.Select a previously saved configuration file.

Viewing Teaming Statistics

You can view teaming and Ethernet statistics using the QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI utility.

To view teaming statistics, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -statport

To reset the Ethernet statistics counter, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -sreset [cna_port_inst]

To display Ethernet port statistics, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -statport [cna_port_inst]

To undo the reset of Ethernet statistics counters, issue the following command:

qaucli -nic -sunreset [cna_port_inst]
