Q

Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the 
switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored. 
Furthermore, the switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be 
restored; that is, you cannot restore a SANbox2-8c switch with a SANbox2-16 
archive. Refer to 

 for more information.

To restore a switch, do the following:

1.

Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot 
restore a switch over an ISL.

2.

Open the Switch menu and select Restore to display the Restore dialog 
shown in 

. The Restore dialog offers a Full Restore and a 

Selective Restore tab.

3.

Enter the archive file name or browse for the file. This archive file must be 
one that was produced by the SANbox Manager Archive function. 
Configuration backup files created with the Config Backup command are not 
compatible with the SANbox Manager Restore function.
