Saving Configuration Settings NOTE: The VLS firmware ensures a persistent VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs, so that in the event of any hardware failure and replacement (such as the system board or Fibre Channel host bus adapter card), the VLS still appears exactly the same to the external SAN. It does this by generating a VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs at first boot, which are based on the system board's MAC address. The VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs are saved on the VLS hard drives and with the virtual library configuration settings in the configuration file. HP highly recommends that you save your virtual library configuration and the VLS network settings to an external configuration file, so they can be restored in the event of a disaster. To save your virtual library configuration and the VLS network settings to an external configuration file: 1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See "Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser" on page 135. 2. Select Chassis in the navigation tree. 3. Click Save Config under Maintenance Tasks. The Save Configuration window opens. 4. Right-click Download Configuration Files. 5. Select Save Target As. A zip file is displayed in the File name box. 6. Click Save, wait for the file to finish downloading, and then click Close. The Save Configuration window re-opens. 7. Click Finish. 176 Management
