configDownload
2
The system configuration data is downloaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and
switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of configDownload
depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of the system
configuration you wish to download.
•
In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command
downloads the switch configuration to the current logical switch only. An Admin user with chassis
permissions can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration
downloads:
-
Download the switch configuration to a specified logical switch (-fid FID).
-
Download the chassis configuration only (-chassis).
-
Download the entire configuration including the data for all logical switches and for the chassis
(-all).
The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the parameters the
user is allowed to execute.
•
In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default downloads the configuration for the
default logical switch only. To download the chassis-level configuration only, use the -chassis
option. To download both the chassis and switch configuration, use the -all option. Chassis
permissions are required. The -fid option is not valid. The -switch option is equivalent to issuing the
command default (without options).
The switch must be disabled for configuration download of all parameters with the exception of SNMP
and Fabric Watch.
The following rules apply to configuration download in Virtual Fabric mode:
•
When downloading the chassis configuration, the number of logical switches defined in the
configuration download must match the number of logical switches currently defined on the switch.
•
When downloading the switch configuration, the target FID must be defined in both the configuration
download and the current system.
•
When downloading the switch configuration from a specified source FID to a target FID, the target
FID must be defined on the switch and the source FID and associated configuration must be defined
in the configuration download. In addition, downloading an SFID configuration resets the target FID
ports without warning. Caution is advised when using this option.
•
When downloading all configuration parameters, the number of switches defined in the downloaded
configuration file must match the number of switches currently defined on the switch. In addition, the
following restrictions apply:
-
The switches must be disabled unless you only wish to download SNMP or Fabric Watch
parameters.
-
Downloading a configuration file from a system that is not Virtual Fabric-capable to a system in
Virtual Fabric mode is not recommended. The configuration is applied to the default switch only,
and only to the ports that are part of the default switch.
-
Downloading a Virtual Fabrics configuration file with the -vf option to a switch that has Admin
Domains configured is not permitted, and the command fails with a warning message. Virtual
Fabrics and Admin Domains cannot coexist on the same switch.
If an FCS policy is enabled, the following rules and restrictions apply:
•
Both [Defined Security Policies] and [Active Security Policies] sections must exist and contain the
FCS_POLICY.
•
In the [Defined Security Policies] section, at least one member of the FCS_POLICY must be the
same as a member in the previous FCS_POLICY.
•
In the [Active Security Policies] section, the FCS_POLICY must be exactly the same as the previous
FCS_POLICY. Order of members must be maintained.
•
If either security policies section has an RSNMP_POLICY, then that section must have a
WSNMP_POLICY.
