5.3.5
Maintenance – Copy Log Files
This option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You can
use FTP to download this file to the management workstation. You must download
the logfile before resetting the switch.
5.3.6
Maintenance – Remove Switch Config
This option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default
configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory
defaults. Refer to Table B-3 though Table B-8 for the factory default values.
5.3.7
Maintenance – Remake Filesystem
In the event of a loss of power, the switch configuration may become corrupt. The
file system on which the configuration is stored must be re-created. This option
resets the switch to the factory default values including user accounts and zoning.
Refer to Table B-3 though Table B-8 for the factory default values.
5.3.8
Maintenance – Reset Switch
This option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode and reboots the
switch using the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image files
that reside on the switch are deleted.
5.3.9
Maintenance – Update Boot Loader
This option updates the system boot loader which loads the Linux kernel into
memory. Use this option only at the direction of your authorized maintenance
provider.
CAUTION!
If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all
changes made to the fabric configuration that involve that switch,
such as password and zoning changes. You must then restore the
switch from an archived configuration or reconfigure the portions of
the fabric that involve the switch.
