read command

This command restores the management-module configuration that was previously saved to the BladeCenter unit chassis or to a file.

Configurations are saved to the BladeCenter unit chassis or to a file using the write command.

Table 1. read command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display management-module automatic configuration setting	Displays the automatic configuration setting (`-auto` command option) of the management module.	`read`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Restore management-module configuration from BladeCenter unit midplane	Restores the management-module configuration from an image that was previously saved to the BladeCenter unit midplane.	`read -config chassis` This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Restore management-module configuration from file (no encryption)	Restores the management-module configuration from an image that was previously saved to a file while data encryption was not enabled for the BladeCenter unit.	`read -config file -l` filename -i ip_address where: filename is the name of the configuration file. ip_address is the IPv4 or IPv6 IP address of the TFTP server where the configuration file is located. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Restore management-module configuration from file (encryption)	Restores the management-module configuration from an image that was previously saved to a file while data encryption was enabled for the BladeCenter unit. Note: When a configuration file was created with a pass-phrase (encryption enabled), if this configuration file is restored on the same management module, the pass-phrase entered during restoration is ignored.	`read -config file -l` filename `-i` ip_address `-p` passphrase where: filename is the name of the configuration file. ip_address is the IPv4 or IPv6 IP address of the TFTP server where the configuration file is located. "passphrase" is the quote-delimited pass-phrase that was used to save the original configuration file. Maximum pass-phrase length is 1600 characters. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Enable automatic management-module configuration	Enables automatic configuration of the management module, based on settings stored in the BladeCenter unit midplane, when the management module is installed. Note: The -auto option can only be used when the management-module configuration was stored to the BladeCenter unit midplane.	`read -config chassis -auto on` This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Disable automatic management-module configuration	Disables automatic configuration of the management module, based on settings stored in the BladeCenter unit midplane, when the management module is installed.	`read -config chassis -auto off` This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Example:

To restore the management-module configuration from an image previously saved to the BladeCenter unit chassis, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  read -config chassis

The following example shows the information that is returned from this command:

               system:mm[1]> read -config chassis
OK
Configuration restore from the chassis was successful
Restart the MM for the new settings to take effect
system:mm[1]>
