192 SANRAD V-Switch User Manual
Exporting a Corrupted Database
After you reboot the V-Switch from safe mode level 1 or 2, you can use the
CLI command ft export problem to export the potentially corrupted
database to SANRAD technical support for examination.
If you rebooted in safe mode level 1 (last good configuration), the last good
database file and the corrupted database file are exported for examination.
If you rebooted in safe mode level 2 (reboot with default factory database),
the corrupted database file is exported for examination.
ft export problem
You need two parameters to export a corrupted database from the V-
Switch:

Manual Safe Mode
You can use the CLI to clear a V-Switch’s database to varying degrees. This
is useful if you want to change the physical storage pool managed by a V-
Switch or make substantial changes to the virtualization configuration.
Safe mode levels 0 and 1 can be executed from any Telnet station but, for
extra safety, safe mode levels 2 and 3 can only be executed from a console
with a local, direct RS232 connection to the V-Switch.
system boot
You need one parameter to reboot the V-Switch in safe mode.
