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.
