Recovering a Switch Module
Maintenance – Remake Filesystem
In the event of a loss of power, the switch configuration may become corrupt.
The file system on which the configuration is stored must be re-created. This
option resets the switch to the factory default values including user accounts
and zoning. Refer to the Reset command in the McDATA 4314 Command Line
Interface Guide for the factory default values.
CAUTION
If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes
made to the fabric configuration that involve that switch, such as password
and zoning changes. You must then restore the switch from an archived
configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the
switch.
Maintenance – Reset Switch
This option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode and reboots the
switch using the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image
files that reside on the switch are deleted.
Maintenance – Update Boot Loader
This option updates the system boot loader which loads the Linux kernel into
memory. Use this option only at the direction of your authorized maintenance
provider.
