5.2.3 Saving the Current Configuration (Settings Tab)
Best practices dictate that you save the xStack Storage system configuration after you
configure the array for the first time and, thereafter, each time you change the
configuration. You can then use the procedure in section 5.2.4 to restore the configuration if
necessary, without having to re-enter the settings from scratch. Saving the current
configuration also allows you to propagate the configuration to other xStack Storage systems
that will use the same settings.
When you save the current configuration, the following settings are saved in a configuration
file:
Management port IP address
All targets
All the initiators that have access to the targets, including their access rights and CHAP
secrets
All volumes and access parameters
User account information
Battery policy
