HP proliant bl e-class User Manual

Beginning in firmware version 2.0.0, interconnect switch firmware configuration files are 
specified in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format. In previous versions, the 
configuration file was stored in binary format. Binary configuration files saved from previous 
versions cannot be downloaded into firmware version 2.0.0. However, previous configuration 
settings are preserved during the firmware upgrade to version 2.0.0. 

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services continue to be used to upload and download 
configuration files. See the TFTP sections in the Web-based, CLI, or menu-driven interface 
reference guides.  

When XML formatted configuration files are downloaded to the interconnect switch, the 
interconnect switch interprets the contents and applies it to the system immediately. The 
configuration settings are saved to NVRAM and become the current settings for the 
interconnect switch. These settings are then used every time the interconnect switch is 
rebooted. 

 

IMPORTANT:  The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform a file transfer. TFTP 
server software is included as part of the Windows utilities package. 

User account information is not saved in the XML configuration file for security reasons and 
must be managed by the interconnect switch administrator. User account information can be 
manually added to the XML configuration file after it is uploaded, or it can be  
re-entered using the CLI, menu-driven interface, or Web-based interface. 

“root” is a special user name and is preserved even if 

<USER_ACCOUNTS_LIST 

RESET="True">. Any other user name, such as “Administrator” with root privileges is 
deleted along with all other users.
