To perform an on-demand OmniSwitch backup or configuration save

Steps

Note: The following limitations apply to an OmniSwitch virtual chassis node, depending on how the node is managed:

 

On the Equipment tree, expand an OmniSwitch object, right-click on a shelf object, and choose Properties. The Shelf (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Software Control Module tab and set the Command to Apply parameter to Certified.


Click Resync.

Note: You must resynchronize the NE to ensure the /flash/working and /flash/certified directory contents are the same, even though the Certified Status displays Certified.


Save your changes and close the form.


Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Backup/Restore from the NFM-P main menu. The Backup/Restore form opens.


Click on the Backup/Restore Policy tab. The backup policies are listed.


Select a policy and Click Properties. The Backup Policy (Edit) form opens.


Click on the Backup/Restore Status tab. The tab lists NEs of the type specified by the Policy Type parameter setting on the General tab.


Select an NE and click Backup or Save Config, depending on the operation that you need to perform.
