Summary

Steps to download config file from Exinda

Overview

Users are recommended to keep a copy of their config somewhere safe. There are are 2 types of Exinda config files
  • Binary
  • Text (recommended)
It is recommended to save the config as a text file. Cases where a configuration file is needed are:
  • Hardware upgrade
  • RMA
  • Disk replacement
  • Remanufacture
  • Diagnostics by TAC
  • Firmware upgrade

To save the config browse to:
  1. Configuration > System > Maintenance
    • System - Maintenance (If on v6)
  2. On the "Manage Config" tab, find the configuration you wish to export. The current active config is the one with a green check mark in front of it.
  3. To save the config as a text file
    • Click on the save icon in the Download column beside it. It will take some time to generate
  4. It will prompt you to download a .txt file to your local system. This .txt file contains all the CLI commands to replicate the config, much like a "show run" command.
  5. To save the config as a binary file:
    • Click on the filename
Generally users configure Exinda once and the config file doesn't have to be changed over and over again. Hence simply use the steps above to save the config file locally after making a change. If for any reason a backup is required periodically, a scheduled job can also be setup on the Exinda. Refer steps in article: 000001035
