Chapter 10: Routine V-Switch Maintenance 10-9
Saving (Uploading) a V-Switch Database File
You can upload a copy of a V-Switch’s full database file to the local TFTP
server. If the V-Switch fails, its database file can be downloaded to the
replacement V-Switch. This eliminates protracted configuration time on the
new V-Switch and ensures configuration integrity.
Use the CLI command ft upload to upload a V-Switch’s full database file
ft upload
You need to define three parameters to upload a database file:
