SCF File restore with partitions

Hello afedden, Partition restore via scf works great from my experience. When restoring to a vcamp guest, if the guest and hardware device are running at identical code levels, edit out the base configurations from the scf and modify the self-ip(s) to reflect the vlan names configured on the chassis. If restoring directly to a blade, you can remove the vlan and self-ip information from the scf so long as they have been pre configured on chassis and the network information in the scf matches up. In addition, if you have already imported your certificate bundle into the chassis/guest, remove the 'cache-path' references from the scf. As long your configuration does not contain apm/asm or iapps, the restore should go smoothly.

If your chassis/guest and hardware platforms are not running identical code, you may want to consider rolling over the config in a virtual machine or spare/standby hardware platform.
