Restoring a switch<br />
Restoring a switch loads the archived configuration parameters to the switch. The<br />
switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored. The archive must<br />
be compatible with the switch to be restored. That is, you can only restore an <strong>IBM</strong><br />
<strong>Flex</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>FC3171</strong> 8 <strong>Gb</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Switch</strong> with an archive from an <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Flex</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
<strong>FC3171</strong> 8 <strong>Gb</strong> <strong>SAN</strong> <strong>Switch</strong>. For more information, see ”Archiving a switch” on<br />
page 4-69.<br />
CAUTION:<br />
The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from the fabric.<br />
Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the fabric. After the restore<br />
process is complete, the switch can be reconnected to the fabric.<br />
To restore a switch, do the following:<br />
<strong>1.</strong> Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot restore a<br />
switch over an ISL.<br />
2. Open the <strong>Switch</strong> menu and select Restore to display the Restore dialog shown in<br />
Figure 26. The Restore dialog offers a Full Restore and a Selective Restore tab.<br />
