Figure 11-6. Configuration backup screen.
With all console servers, you can save the backup file remotely on your PC and you can restore configurations from remote locations:
Click Save Backup in the Remote Configuration Backup menu.
The config backup file (System Name_date_config.opg) will be downloaded to your PC and saved in the location you nominate.
To restore a remote backup:
Click Browse in the Remote Configuration Backup menu and select the Backup File you want to restore.
Click Restore and click OK. This will overwrite all the current configuration settings in your console server.
After saving a local configuration backup, you may choose to use it as the alternate default configuration. When the console server is reset to
factory defaults, it will then load your alternate default configuration instead of its factory settings:
To set an alternate default configuration, check Load On Erase and click Apply.
NOTE: Before selecting Load On Erase, make sure that you have tested your alternate default configuration by clicking Restore.
If your alternate default configuration causes the console server to not boot, recover your unit to factory settings using the following steps:
If the configuration is stored on an external USB storage device, unplug the storage device and reset to factory defaults (see Section 11.1).
If the configuration is stored on an internal USB storage device, reset it to factory defaults using a specially prepared USB storage device:
The USB storage device must be formatted with a Windows FAT32/VFAT file system on the first partition or the entire disk; most
USB thumb drives are already formatted this way.
The file system must have the volume label: OPG_DEFAULT.
Insert this USB storage device into an external USB port on the console server and reset to factory defaults as described in
Section 12.1.
- After recovering your console server, make sure the problem configuration is no longer selected for Load On Erase.
