To restore the NV data:

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

You are prompted for information for restoring the NV data saved to a file. 
Press [Return] at a prompt to use the value specified in brackets. Any entry 
for IP address, file name, and user name becomes the new default.

2 Enter the IP address of the host where the NV data file resides.

3 Enter the NV data file path name.

4 Enter your user name on the host system.

5 Enter your password on the host system.

If the information is incorrect, or a connection could not be made with the 
specified host, a message similar to the following is displayed:

User Tom access denied:

Error: Could not open ftp session

If a session is successfully opened, the system reads the header information, 
compares the stored configuration to the current system configuration, and 
proposes a method of restoration based on one of the restoration rules 
described on page 6-3. 

You are prompted to load the proposal.

CAUTION - Restoring nonvolatile data may leave the system 

in an inconsistent state and therefore a reboot is 

necessary after each restore.

Do you wish to continue? (y/n):

6 Enter 

 (yes) if you want to use the proposal. If you do not want to use the 

proposal, enter 

 (no).

If you enter 

, the system NV is restored as proposed. 

7 At the end of a restore, press [Return] to reboot the system.
