If you are using Internet Explorer 6 or higher, to backup your
KSX II:
1. Click Backup. A File Download dialog appears that contains an Open
button. Do not click Open.
In IE 6 and higher, IE is used as the default application to open files,
so you are prompted to open the file versus save the file. To avoid
this, you must change the default application that is used to open
files to WordPad
®
.
2. To do this:
a. Save the backup file. The backup file is saved locally on your
client machine with the name and location specified.
b. Once saved, locate the file and right-click on it. Select properties.
c. In general tab, click Change and select WordPad.
To restore your KSX II:
WARNING: Exercise caution when restoring your KSX II to an earlier
version. Usernames and password in place at the time of the backup
will be restored. If you do not remember the old administrative
usernames and passwords, you will be locked out of the KSX II.
In addition, if you used a different IP address at the time of the
backup, that IP address will be restored as well. If the configuration
uses DHCP, you may want to perform this operation only when you
have access to the local port to check the IP address after the update.
1. Choose the type of restore you want to run:
Full Restore - A complete restore of the entire system. Generally
used for traditional backup and restore purposes.
Protected Restore - Everything is restored except device-specific
information such as IP address, name, and so forth. With this option,
you can setup one KSX II and copy the configuration to multiple KSX
II devices.
Custom Restore - With this option, you can select User and Group
Restore, Device Settings Restore, or both:
User and Group Restore - This option includes only user and
group information. This option does not restore the certificate
and the private key files. Use this option to quickly set up
users on a different KSX II.
Device Settings Restore - This option includes only device
settings such as power associations, USB profiles, blade
chassis related configuration parameters, and Port Group
assignments. Use this option to quickly copy the device
information.
1. Click Browse. A Choose File dialog appears.
