The configuration file could have any of the following three types of errors:
Dialog Box
Description
Configuration File Startup Error
Either configuration file(emwdata.bin and emwback.bin) is discovered to have a read or write permissions problem when you are starting a management session. Follow the instructions on the dialog to recover from the error.
Important: When you select OK on this dialog, the Enterprise Management Window will close. You MUST fix this error before you can successfully open a management session.
Configuration File Write Error
Either configuration file (emwdata.bin and emwback.bin) is discovered to have a read or write permissions problem during a management session, or the write fails because the local disk is full. Follow the instructions on the dialog to recover from the error.
Important: If you select Cancel rather than correcting the problem and then selecting Retry, any configuration data generated during your management session will be temporarily reflected, but will not be saved for future management sessions.
Configuration File Corruption Error
Both configuration files (emwdata.bin and emwback.bin) are corrupted and cannot be recovered, or one of the configuration files is corrupt and the other one is missing.
Important:
Record the location of the directory path listed on the error dialog. You may need to use this directory path in the recovery procedure.
When a configuration file corruption error occurs, the only action you can take initially is to select OK because the current configuration files cannot be recovered. Selecting OK replaces the configuration files and resets them to empty files. As a result, the Enterprise Management Window will display no devices, reflecting an empty management domain. After selecting OK, you are given an opportunity to perform an automatic discovery to add devices back to the management domain and rebuild your files. You can do so either by using alternate configuration files or by rebuilding your original configuration files.
