Backup and Restore
If a unique local peer definition is found, the System ID found in the local peer definition is compared against the
System ID being used by the running system. If they do not match (as in the case where a backup file from one
Equalizer is being restored on another Equalizer), the configuration file is modified to reflect the System ID of the
running system and the signature is re-generated. If they do match, the configuration is not modified.
If a unique local peer definition is not found, then all peer definitions are removed from the configuration file and a
new local peer definition is generated. This behavior is the same behavior that occurs if Equalizer is booted and
there are no peer definitions found in the configuration file (which happens, for example, when the system is reset
to factory defaults).
Restore features are available through the GUI and through eqcli.
Restore Notes
1. eqcli restore of a backup archive from a local directory is not supported.
2. When restoring a backup archive created on an Equalizer other than the one you are restoring, all IP
addresses (clusters, servers, failover IP addresses, VLAN IP addresses, etc.) will be instantiated as-is
from the backup archive. Consequently, if the unit on which the backup archive was created is connected
to the network, IP conflicts will arise. You must correct the IP address conflicts before configuring the
restored unit into failover, or issues (such as core dumps) will occur.
3. If a backup was performed on a system with more interfaces than exist on the system on which it is being
restored, full connectivity will not be restored if a VLAN specifies a port that does not exist on the system
on which it is being restored. Connectivity can only be restored for vlans that specify ports that exist on the
system on which they are being restored.
4. When a backup is restored on a system: -- Any valid licenses present on that system are preserved. The
licenses in the backup file are discarded. If there are no valid licenses on that system, the licenses in the
backup file are restored.
Restore (GUI)
Restore a backup file containing all user-configured objects and parameters through the GUI is as follows:
1. Log in to the GUI as described in "Logging In" on page 192.
2. Click on the Maintenance tab and then select Backup and Restore. The following will be displayed.
