Sun Microsystems 6800/4810/4800/3800 manual SchostnameSC dumpconfig -f ftp//hostname/path

Description

Saves the platform and domain configurations to a server for recovery in case of a system controller failure. This command creates two data files at the specified URL: schostname.nvci and schostname.tod.

Use this command when you complete setting up the initial configuration of the platform and the domains, each time you modify the configuration, or change the hardware configuration. For example, when you type one of the following commands: setupplatform, setupdomain, setdate, addboard, deleteboard, enablecomponent, disablecomponent, and password. The data files include schostname.nvci and schostname.tod. By running this command again, the new platform and domain configurations are saved to a server.

Caution –This command should be run any time you change the platform or domain configuration (see the list of commands in the first paragraph). Invoking this command is very important because if the System Controller board fails and you did not use this command to save the platform and domain configurations, you will have to manually reconfigure the platform and the domains.

This command is intended to be used as part of the procedure in replacing a failed System Controller board. You should not use this command to revert to an old configuration. The showplatform, showdomain, showcomponent, and showboards system controller commands display all of the configuration and can be used as a reference.

If you need to replace the System Controller board, this configuration information can be used to restore the platform and domain configurations to the replacement System Controller board.
