Deleting a Switch Configuration
Enter the Config Delete command in an Admin session to delete a configuration
from the switch as shown in the following example. You cannot delete the active
configuration nor the default configuration (Default Config).
SANbox (admin) config delete config_2
Modifying a Switch Configuration
To modify a switch configuration, you must open an Admin session with the Admin
Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes
at the same time through Telnet, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or another
management application. You must also open a Config Edit session with the
Config Edit command and indicate which configuration you want to modify. If you
do not specify a configuration name the active configuration is assumed.
The Config Edit session provides access to the Set Config commands with which
you make modifications to the port, switch, port threshold alarm, or zoning
configuration components as shown:
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> config edit
The config named default is being edited.
SANbox (admin-config)#> set config port . . .
SANbox (admin-config)#> set config switch . . .
SANbox (admin-config)#> set config threshold . . .
SANbox (admin-config)#> set config zoning . . .
SANbox (admin-config)#> set config security . . .
The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Edit
session. In this case, changes to the configuration named Default are being saved
to a new configuration named config_10132003. However, the new configuration
does not take effect until you activate it with the Config Activate command:
SANbox (admin-config)#> config save config_10132003
SANbox (admin)#> config activate config_10132003
SANbox (admin)#> admin end
The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators
when you are done making changes to the switch.
