restart the browser.
To back up a domain configuration:
1. Enter an encryption key to encrypt the configuration file.
2. Click Backup Configuration.
3. Navigate to the hard drive location where you want to save the configuration file.
4. Name the file (usually the domain name), and then click Save.
To restore a domain configuration:
1. Click Browse, navigate to the location of the saved configuration file, select the file, and then click
Open.
2. Select the Ignore enclosure serial number in restored configuration file checkbox to restore a
configuration that was generated on another enclosure. If this item is not selected, a configuration
generated on another enclosure is rejected. This option is relevant to the primary/local enclosure only.
CAUTION: Restoring a Virtual Connect domain configuration from a backup file that was
created on another Virtual Connect domain is not supported and can cause serious faults within
this and other Virtual Connect Domains within the environment. The restore selection and
configuration files should only be used to restore the same previously existing domain.
