This command saves the CMM configuration,
including user accounts and permission groups, to a file.
Saved configurations are restored using the read command.
Note:
- When the CMM is
set to "Secure" security mode, only secure file transfer methods,
such as HTTPS and SFTP, can be used for tasks involving file transfer
when the CMM is
acting as a server. Unsecure file transfer protocols, such as HTTP,
FTP, and TFTP, are disabled when the CMM is
acting as a server when the security mode is set to "Secure".
Unsecure file transfer protocols remain available for a CMM acting
as a client for all commands when the security mode is set to "Secure".
- For information about how to specify a URL for file transfer,
see Specifying a URL for file transfer.
If command syntax is not correctly entered,
or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for
a list of error messages that apply to all commands or write command errors for
a list of error messages that are specific to the write command.

To save the
CMM configuration
to a file named cmm1.cfg in the temp directory on a TFTP server with
an IP address of 9.37.177.215 and a passphrase of backuplock, while
the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment,
at the
system> prompt, type
write -u tftp://9.37.177.215/temp/cmm1.cfg -p "backuplock" -T mm[p]
The following example shows the information
that is returned from this command:
system> write -u tftp://9.37.177.215/temp/cmm1.cfg -p "backuplock" -T mm[p]
OK
To save the
CMM configuration
to a file named cfg.bkp in the /tftpboot/backup directory on a SFTP
server with an IP address of 300.370.640.310, a user ID of userid,
and a passphrase of Passphaase, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis
is set as the persistent command environment, at the
system> prompt,
type
write -T mm[p] -p "Passphaase" -u sftp://userid:password@300.370.640.310/tftpboot/
backup/cfg.bkp
The following
example shows the information that is returned from this command:
system> write -T mm[p] -p "Passphaase" -u sftp://userid:password@300.370.640.310/
tftpboot/backup/cfg.bkp
OK
