HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide 47
The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and afterwards the switch is
automatically reset. If the restore process changes the IP address, all management sessions are terminated.
Use the set setup system command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. To restore
the switch, open a Telnet session (a new IP address may be required), then enter the config restore
command from in an Admin session, as shown in the following example:
SN6000 FC Switch #> admin start
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> config restore
The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.
Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
Alarm Msg: [day month date time year][A1005.0021][SM][Configuration is being
restored - this could take several minutes]
Alarm Msg: [day month date time year][A1000.000A][SM][The switch will be reset
in 3 seconds due to a config restore]
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #>
Alarm Msg: [day month date time year][A1000.0005][SM][The switch is being reset]
Paging a switch
To help you locate a particular switch in a rack of switches, you can turn on the beacon feature with the
set beacon command. This causes all port Logged-In LEDs to flash in unison. The following is an
example of how to turn the beacon on and off:
SN6000 FC Switch #> set beacon on
SN6000 FC Switch $> set beacon off
Managing the date and time
The switch date and time can be set explicitly using the date command or it can be set automatically
through a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. The date command also displays the current time. Unlike
the date command, the NTP server also synchronizes the date and time on the switch with the date and
time on the workstation, which is required for SSL connections.
NOTE: To set the date with the date command, the switch NTP client must be disabled. For information
about disabling the NTPClientEnabled parameter, see ”set setup system” (page 222).
If you are using the date command, you can set the time zone using the set timezone command. The
default time zone is Universal Time (UTC) also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Changing the time
zone converts the current time to the time in the new time zone. For this reason, if you are not using an NTP
server, set the time zone first, then set the date and time.
See the following date and time management examples:
• Displaying the date and time, page 47
• Setting the date and time explicitly, page 48
• Setting the time through an NTP server, page 49
Displaying the date and time
To display the date and time, enter the date command, as shown in the following example:
SN6000 FC Switch #> date
Mon Apr 07 07:51:24 2008
