Brocade SAN Switch CFG backup and recover

通常，我们在执行SAN交换机变更之前，需要先对SAN交换机的配置做一次备份，尤其是在删除ZONE配置，或者一些其他重大变更。

那么本文主要探讨如何来做SAN交换机的备份和恢复。

1. 备份

switch:admin> configupload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp

Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.1.1
User Name [user]: addison
File Name [config.txt]: config.txt
Password: ********
configUpload complete: All config parameters except AD Headers,SFOS, and
Security parameters are uploaded from AD0

..................

192.168.1.1 是FTP服务器地址，后面的user也是FTP服务器设置的user.

这样，就在我们的FTP目录里面就能找到这个文件了。

2. 恢复

SAN交换机配置恢复成本是非常高的，因为需要disable整个交换机，因此不在万不得已，不要做这个操作。

switch:admin> switchdisable

switch:admin> configdownload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.38.152
User Name [user]: jdoe
File Name [config.txt]: config51x_onSW3900  （问题3）


Password:
*** CAUTION ***
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
Do you want to continue [y/n]: y
configDownload completed successfully. All parameters are downloaded.
switch:admin> switchenable
switch:admin>

到此，交换机恢复就完成了。

如果有任何问题可以与我交流，谢谢。
