4.8.1.1 Backing Up Settings on a Switch with 2.1.3-4 Firmware

The following procedure describes how to back up a switch with 2.1.3-4 firmware. The backup only needs to be done once after the switch has been initially configured with the right settings.

1. Navigate to the switch ILOM URL in a browser. For example: http://dbm002-i1.us.example.com.
2. Log in as the ilom-admin user.
3. Select the Maintenance tab.
4. Select the Backup/Restore tab.
5. Select the Backup operation and the Browser method.
6. Enter a passphrase. This is used to encrypt sensitive information, such as user passwords, in the backup.
7. Click Run, and save the resulting XML file in a secure location.
8. Log in to the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 switch as the root user.
9. Use the scp command to copy the following files:
   • root SSH keys: /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
   • nm2user SSH keys (if it exists): /home/nm2user/.ssh/authorized_keys
   • host file: /etc/hosts
   • host file: /etc/opensm/opensm.conf to preserve the openSM settings
10. Save the output from the version command.
