6.3.1.3 Updating or Restoring the iPAM400 System Configuration
!
!
In order to ensure that you can restore any previous version of the system configuration:
1) The configuration files must have unique names. We recommend that the configuration
file name include information of its contents and date in order to facilitate the version
control, e.g. “2008-09-01-ipam400-station-01.cfg”.
2) A copy of all iPAM400 system configuration files should be stored in a safe place other
than the iPAM400.
3) Create a backup copy of the current configuration file as described in Section “6.3.1.4.3
Creating a Backup of the Current Configuration” (page 74).
6.3.1.3.1 Updating or Restoring the System Configuration Using a USB Memory Stick
This option enables the system configuration to be updated or restored locally using a USB memory stick.
To Update or Restore the iPAM400 System Configuration:
1. Copy the required configuration files (*.cfg file) into the root directory of a USB memory stick
.
The Setup Tool can only recognize files that are located in the root directory.
2. Plug the USB memory stick into one of the available USB ports on the iPAM400 rear panel.
3. Run the Setup Tool as follows, if not already running.
a. Connect to the iPAM400 either remotely or locally, as described in Section “6.2 Connecting to
the iPAM400” (page 59).
b. Run the Setup Tool by entering the following command: /dva/bin/vipet_setup
4. Choose the “Configure” from the main menu by entering “3”.
5. Choose the “USB drive” from the configuration menu by entering “3”.
6. A list of all configuration files (*.cfg) available in the memory stick will be shown.
7. Choose the required configuration by entering its option number.
A list of iPAM400 units will be shown. The configuration file can contain the configuration of more
than one iPAM400 unit.
8. Select the iPAM400 being configured by entering its option number.
9. Wait a moment for the configuration to occur.
10. The current menu options will be shown for further selections.
11. It is possible to restore the previous installed system configuration by repeating this procedure for
the previously installed configuration. You can also do this by using the iPAM400 RAM Disk (“6.3.1.3.2
Updating or Restoring the System Configuration Using the RAM Disk”, page 70), or the configuration
directory (“6.3.1.3.3 Updating or Restoring the System Configuration the Using the Configuration
