IMC: configuration backup with sysname instead of IP address?

MichaelM55 — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 12:02:37 GMT

Hello,

when using Configuration Center => Auto Backup Plan I get backup files of startup and running configuration with file names consisting of the IP address of the switch. How can I change backup script such that the script uses the sysname of the device and not the ip address?

Regards

Hello Michael,

there is a setting in the <imc installation folder</server/conf/qvdm.conf file for this:

#Config file name to use ip address or device label (default is set to 0)

config_file_name

= 0 means IP address

=1 means device label

Note: after changing this you need to restart IMC (and as always before editing the qvdm.conf please make a copy of it)
