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:
-
If the NE is managed using the out-of-band management IP address, and is a single-shelf node, vcboot.cfg and vcsetup.cfg files are backed up from primary.
-
If the NE is managed using out-of-band management IP address and is a multi-shelf node, the following are backed up:
If any of the NE is unreachable from the NFM-P server, the backup operation fails.
-
If the NE is managed using a VLAN-based management IP address or an in-band management IP address, the vcboot.cfg file is backed up from primary.
