Working with System Configuration in Gaia Clish

You can save your Gaia configuration settings as a ready-to-run CLI shell script.

This feature lets you quickly restore your system configuration after a system failure or migration.

Note - You can only do a migration using the same Gaia version on the source and target computers.

Important:

  • In a Management Data Plane Separation (MDPS) environment (see sk138672), you must run these commands in each plane.

  • On Scalable Platforms (ElasticXL, Maestro, and Chassis), you must run the applicable commands in Gaia gClish of the applicable Security Group.

  • Maestro Security Groups that contain different Security Appliance models do not support Gaia Backup operations (in the Global Gaia Portal or Global Gaia Clish).

    To collect or import a Gaia Backup in such a Security Group, connect directly to Gaia Portal or Gaia Clish on each Security Appliance in the Security Group.

Syntax

save configuration <Name of Script>

load configuration <Name of Script>

show configuration

This example shows part of the configuration settings as last saved to a CLI shell script:
