Important Considerations
■
Before you attempt to restore the data to a system that has a different
system ID, be aware that the following types of NV data may cause
problems when they are restored:
■
Management IP addresses (defined in IP interface configurations)
are saved as NV data and restored. To avoid duplicate IP address
problems, you may need to change the IP address of defined
interfaces before you connect the restored system to the network.
■
Statically configured Ethernet addresses are saved as NV data.
Verify that you have no duplicate addresses when you restore the
NV data.
Options

continue? Confirmation of the operation.
(You may not want to reboot
because resetting nonvolatile
data may leave the system in
an inconsistent state, so the
system reboots after each
reset.)
