5.1 Introduction to Hardware Management
Hardware management indicates the operations performed on hardware resources after the
hardware is installed.
Hardware configurations reduce the frequency at which hardware resources are plugged in and
pulled out or installed and uninstalled, which improves the reliability of hardware resources.
5.2 Hardware Management Supported by the AR150/200
This section describes the hardware management operations supported by the AR150/200.
The AR150/200 supports backing up the electronic label.
5.3 Backing Up Electronic Labels
This section describes how to back up electronic labels.
5.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before backing up electronic labels, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This will help you complete
the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Electronic labels play an important role in handling network faults and replacing hardware in
batches. Therefore, backing up electronic labels is a must.
l When a fault occurs on the network, you can obtain information on related hardware
conveniently and accurately and improve the efficiency of maintenance tasks by using
electronic labels. For example, you can run queries on the maintenance cases of the
knowledge base, the preparation of spare boards, and the tests of related indexes. In
addition, you can efficiently analyze and trace defects in the hardware by analyzing and
collecting statistics on the electronic labels of the faulty hardware.
l When you need to replace hardware in batches, you can accurately view the distribution of
hardware in the entire network through the electronic labels recorded in the archive systems
of clients' devices. In this manner, you can pre-estimate the impact of hardware replacement
and formulate corresponding policies to make batch hardware replacement more efficient.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before backing up electronic labels, ensure that the AR150/200 and the FTP server are routable.
Data Preparation
To back up electronic labels, you need the following data.
