Resetting a V-Switch

You can perform a remote soft reset on the V-Switch using the CLI reset command. All configuration databases will be maintained on the V-Switch, including user names and passwords; network port aliases; configured volumes and iSCSI targets.

Saving (Uploading) a V-Switch Database File

You can upload a copy of a V-Switch’s full database file to the local TFTP server. If the V-Switch fails, its database file can be downloaded to the replacement V-Switch. This eliminates protracted configuration time on the new V-Switch and ensures configuration integrity.

Use the CLI command ft upload to upload a V-Switch’s full database file

ft upload

You need to define three parameters to upload a database file:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-ip	IP ADDRESS	IP ADDRESS OF	MANDATORY	212.199.43.70
		STATION WHERE
		TFTP APPLICATION
		SITS

-fn

-ft

FILE NAME	COMPLETE PATH	MANDATORY	VSwitch/v1_9/
	AND NAME TO SAVE		v1_9database
	FILE AS
FILE TYPE	FORMAT TO SAVE	OPTIONAL	db
	DATA IN	DEFAULT: DB
		(DATA BASE)

Example:

Upload the file v1_9dat as a database file to the tftp server at 212.199.43.70.

ft upload –ip 212.199.43.70 –fn VSwitch/v1_9/ v1_9database –ft db
