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. The switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored; that is, you can restore a SANbox 5602 switch only with an archive from a SANbox 5602 switch. Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-36for more information.

CAUTION! The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from the fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the fabric. After the restore process is complete, the switch can be reconnected to the fabric.

To restore a switch, do the following:

1.Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot restore a switch over an ISL.

2.Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Restore to display the Restore dialog shown in Figure 4-16. The Restore dialog offers a Full Restore and a Selective Restore tab.
