Backing up the existing V5R1/V5R3 image
This section describes you how to backup the existing V5R1/V5R3 image via the low-level menu
commands.
NOTE
The Summit WM Controller's Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides you the option of automatically backing up the
existing image prior to performing a system upgrade (Main Menu>Summit WM Controller>Software Maintenance>SWM
Software). You can use this option to backup the existing image instead of the following instructions. For more
information on using the GUI for software maintenance, see the Summit WM User Guide.
The topics in this section are organized as follows:

Before you proceed ahead with the backup, you must ensure that the Management Port is configured correctly, and
connected to the network. You can not enter the Rescue mode without the Management Port’s connectivity to the
network. To enter the Rescue mode, you must connect to the serial port.
