To restore an OmniSwitch configuration

Note: You can import the locally available backup file for the same NE to the NFM-P which can be restored. Ensure the backup policy remains the same as was in place during the backup procedure. This will prevent the NFM-P from generating an error while importing the file.

The restored configuration is typically stored in a working directory. Supporting OmniSwitch devices allow you to configure a user-defined directory for the restored files; see To configure a backup policy.

The NFM-P indicates when the file is successfully transferred to the appropriate NEs. However, the file will not become active until the device(s) have been reloaded from the specified working or user-defined directory.

Steps
 

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


Click on the Backup/Restore Status tab. The NEs for which a backup is available are displayed.


Select an NE and click Restore. The restore begins, and the Last Operation Details column displays the operation status.


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


Click on the Software Control Module tab.


Set the Command to Apply parameter to Reload.


If required, configure the Delayed Activation Timer and Redundancy Time (seconds) parameters.


Configure the Image Files Directory parameter.


Save your changes and close the form.
