Retrieve Running Configuration

Release Notes

Configuration changes containing errors may be captured

Proliant devices buffer configuration changes until the are saved and applied. There may be cases where these buffered changes contain errors that will not manifest until the configuration is saved. The system may therefore capture a configuration state that contains these errors. Later, when the changes are saved, the device will throw out all erroneous changes and the system will end up holding a copy of the device configuration that is not consistent with what is actually running on the device.

Changes to certificates and RSA keys will not be detected

The certificates and private RSA keys are always masked when comparing configuration captures since they change with every "dump" command. If there were not masked then every snapshot would result in a detected configuration change and stored configuration. However, due to this masking, legitimate changes to these certificates and keys will not be detected. If you change this information in the configuration, you should take a "checkpoint" snapshot to force the saving of the configuration into the system and ensure the modified keys are saved.

Password Management

Release Notes

Full access users in password management always match the system user for device

The full access username and password available to manage through the Password management feature are the username and password used by the system to log into the device. This means that the username and password for the device in the system will change which username and password is managed in Password Management. The reason for this is that the device can only change the password of the user logged in.

Software Center

Release Notes

Avoid deploying software images with ".img" extension

If you deploy an image with the extension ".img" to an HP Proliant device, it will reload and reset its configuration and default settings. Passwords will also be reset by the device. You should perform this task manually via the console port since the device must be reconfigured by the user following reload (Refer to the WLAN Security Switch 1.0 User's Guide and Command Reference, Chapter 2, "Reinstalling the Software").

The preferred extension for images to deploy is ".pkg".
