Configuration file restoration
When you restore a configuration file, you overwrite the existing configuration with a previously saved
backup configuration file.
CAUTION
Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch
model. Downloading a configuration file from a different switch model or from a different
firmware could cause your switch to fail.
CAUTION
If you have Virtual Fabrics enabled, you must follow the procedure in
management for Virtual Fabrics
on page 262 to restore the logical switches.
If a configDownload command is issued on a non-FC router, any FC router parameters may be
viewed in the downloaded data. This is harmless to the switch and can be ignored.
MAPS configuration is downloaded onto the switch only if MAPS is enabled on the local switch.
While it is possible to transfer a Fabric OS 6.4.1 configuration file to a Fabric OS 7.0.0 or later switch,
it is not possible to transfer a Fabric OS 7.0.0 or later configuration file to a Fabric OS 6.4.1 switch.
Restrictions
This section lists restrictions for some of the options of the configDownload command.
-chassis
The number of switches defined in the downloaded configuration file must match the number of
switches currently defined on the switch.
