Virtual Connect module upgrade question

[chuckk281]

Vincent has a VC module upgrade question from a customer:

************

I have a customer currently using the C7000 Blade Enclosure with VC Flex-10 + VC- FC modules with virtual MAC/WWN. They will upgrade the existing VC Flex-10 to VC Flex-10/10D. During the upgrade, can we backup all the VC configuration and restore to new VC modules including the virtual MAC/WWN? Assume the C7000 can allow down time. Thanks.
