efa system backup
Backs up the EFA system, including the database and certificates.
Syntax
Parameters
- --device-ip stringArray
- Specifies a comma-separated range of device IPs for which the configuration backup will be taken. Example: 10.1.1.13,10.1.1.50,10.1.1.101.
- --remote boolean
- Specifies if backup should be stored remotely. Default is false (only on local). When set to true, backup is stored both locally and remotely.
- --fabric-all
- Indicates to back up all devices that are part of all fabrics running the configuration backup.
- --fabric-name string
- Indicates to back up all devices that are part of this fabric running the configuration backup.
Usage Guidelines
You can restore a backed-up database for various reasons, such as if the database becomes
corrupted or you want to revert to a previous configuration. The backup process
creates a backup tar file, which you specify for the restore process. The backup tar
file is saved to one of the following locations:
- Server: /var/log/efa/backup
- TPVM: /apps/efa_logs/backup
Run this command as a sudo user for the base operating system.
Examples
This example performs system backup without device configuration backup.
