atmf backup now
This command is run only from an AMF master and initiates an immediate AMF backup of
either all AMF members, or a selected AMF member. Note that this backup information is
stored in the external media on the master nodes, even though the selected AMF member
may not be a master node.
Syntax atmf backup now [<nodename>]
Default
A backup is initiated for all nodes on the AMF (but stored on the master nodes).
Mode Privileged Exec
Usage Although this command will select the AMF node to be backed-up; it can only be run from
an AMF master node. Note also that the backup produced will be for the selected node
but the backed-up config will reside on the external media of the AMF master on which
the command was run. However, this process will result in the information on one master
being more up-to-date. To maintain concurrent backups on both masters, you can apply
the backup now command to the master working-set. This is shown in “Example 4” on
page 56.
Example 1 In this example, an AMF member has not been assigned a host name. The following
command is run on the atmf_master_2 node to immediately backup the device -
identified by its MAC address of 0016.76b1.7a5e:
Example 2 In this example, an AMF member has been assigned the host name, office_annex. The
following command will immediately backup this device:.
This command is initiated on the switch named amf_master_2 and initiates an immediate
backup on the switch named office_annex.
Parameter Description
backup The AMF backup process
now Immediately applies the command’s action
<nodename>
or
<hostname>
The name of the AMF member to be backed up - as set by the
hostname command. Where no name has been assigned to this
device, then you must apply the prefix, host underscore followed
(without a space) by the MAC address of the device to be backed up.
For example host_0016_76b1_7a5e
Note that the node-name appear as the command Prompt when in
Privileged Exec mode.
