SANRAD V-Switch manual Exporting a Corrupted Database, Manual Safe Mode

Exporting a Corrupted Database

After you reboot the V-Switch from safe mode level 1 or 2, you can use the CLI command ft export problem to export the potentially corrupted database to SANRAD technical support for examination.

If you rebooted in safe mode level 1 (last good configuration), the last good database file and the corrupted database file are exported for examination.

If you rebooted in safe mode level 2 (reboot with default factory database), the corrupted database file is exported for examination.

ft export problem

You need two parameters to export a corrupted database from the V- Switch:

SWITCH PARAMETER DEFINITION STATUS EXAMPLE

-ip	IP ADDRESS	SERVER IP	MANDATORY
		ADDRESS
-fd	FILE DIRECTORY	DIRECTORY TO	MANDATORY
		EXPORT FILES TO

212.199.43.70

Corrupted_DB

Example

The suspicious database is exported to the directory Corrupted_DB at IP address 212.199.43.70.

ft export problem –ip 212.199.43.70 –fd Corrupted_DB

Manual Safe Mode

You can use the CLI to clear a V-Switch’s database to varying degrees. This is useful if you want to change the physical storage pool managed by a V- Switch or make substantial changes to the virtualization configuration.

Safe mode levels 0 and 1 can be executed from any Telnet station but, for extra safety, safe mode levels 2 and 3 can only be executed from a console with a local, direct RS232 connection to the V-Switch.

system boot

You need one parameter to reboot the V-Switch in safe mode.
