This command will shutdown the operating systems on yourswitch. You are required to power-cycle the switch inorder to restore operation.Īre you sure you want to shutdown the switch ? yīroadcast message from root (ttyS0) Mon Sep 12 17: \52:12 2005. To perform a system shutdown on a standalone platform: switch:admin> sysshutdown Manually power off the switch if necessary. Run the sysshutdown command to shut down the system.Ĥ. Stop data transmission between the host and storage device connected to the switch (to prevent data loss caused by shutdown).ģ.
SSH into the switch, and issue the following command. The backup switch is configured on the local and FTP servers.Ģ. e.g an HP StorageWorks 8/8 SAN Switch (Yeah its a Brocade 6505), or an IBM SAN24B-4 Express. The overall power-off process is as follows:ġ. On some platforms, you need to manually power off the switch power supply after this command is executed. On some platforms, this command directly powers off the switch power supply. Brocade switches provide the sysshutdown command. You are not advised to power off the switch directly. This action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.Multiple open transactions are pending in this fabric. Only onetransaction can be saved.Please abort all unwanted transactionsusing the cfgtransabort command. Use the cfgtransshow -opentranscommand to display a list of domains with open transactionsDo you want to save the Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): nĬonfigupload: Backs up the local configuration file of the switch to the FTP server. You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. To save a zone configuration if there are multiple open transactions: switch:admin> cfgsave To avoid inconsistencyit is recommended to commit the configurations using thecfgenable command.Do you want to save Defined zoning configurationonly? (yes, y, no, n): y The inconsistency will result in differentEffective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric ifa zone merge or HA failover happens. The changes you are attempting to save will render theEffective configuration and the Defined configurationinconsistent. To save a zone configuration: switch:admin> cfgsave (Ensure that the configuration is the same after the switch restarts.) Switch configuration backupĬfgsave: Backs up the current running configuration to the local switch. This article focuses on the precautions for powering on and off Brocade SAN switches.
