How to Recover Zoning Configurations Using the CLI

Before You Begin

• Make sure that you have permissions for one of the following roles: Admin, User Management, Console, Reset and Host Control, and Read Only (a,u,c,r,o).

• You must have previously created a backup CMM ILOM configuration file that contains the zoning configurations you want to restore. See Saving the Zoning Configuration to a Backup File Using the CMM ILOM.

1. Open a terminal window and establish an ssh connection to the CMM by entering the following command:

   # ssh -l username cmm_ip

   Where username is your ILOM user name and cmm_ip is the IP address of the CMM.

   The login prompt is displayed.

2. Log in as root and enter the root password:

   /hostname/login: username

   password:xxxxxxxx

   After you have successfully logged in, the prompt will be displayed:

3. Change to the /SP/config directory.

   -> cd /SP/config

4. To initiate the Restore operation, enter the command:

   -> set load_uri= transfer_method://username:password@ipaddress_or_hostname/directorypath/filename.config

   Where:

   • transfer_method can be tftp, ftp, sftp, scp, http, or https.

   • username is the name of the user account on the remote system. (username is required for scp, sftp, and ftp. username is not used for tftp, and it is optional for http and https.)

   • password is the password for the user account on the remote system. (password is required for scp, sftp, and ftp. password is not used for tftp, and it is optional for http and https.)

   • ipaddress_or_hostname is the IP address or the host name of the remote system.

   • directorypath is the storage location on the remote system.

   • filename is the name assigned to the backup file.

   The Restore operation executes.
