2. Add all secondary nodes using the Add Node Wizard. For each secondary node: a. In Command View VLS, select the System tab. b. Select Nodes from the navigation tree. c. Select Add Node from the task bar in the main window. This will bring up the Add Node Wizard. d. Verify that the node name in the Node Name field is the next available number that you configured previously. For example, the primary node, previously configured as Node 0, is identified as Node 0 in the list of nodes on the navigation tree. The first secondary node added should be Node 1. The next secondary node added should be Node 2. e. Select Finish to add the node. 3. Select Chassis in the navigation tree. 4. Click Restore Config under Maintenance Tasks. The Restore Config window opens. 5. Click Browse. 6. Locate and select the desired configuration file. 7. Click Open. 8. Click Next Step. A message displays indicating that the file was uploaded successfully. 9. Click Next to start loading the configuration file. After the configuration file is loaded, the system automatically applies the configuration and reboots. Rebuilding the Virtual Library Configuration To reconfigure the network settings and rebuild the virtual library configuration: 1. Set the network settings so you can open a Command View VLS session. See Setting the Network Settings. 2. Rebuild the virtual library and virtual drive configurations and re-enter your other configuration settings, such as the notification alert settings. See Configuration, Management, and Monitoring. NOTE: If the node system board was ever changed and the virtual library configuration and network settings were not saved to a configuration file, the persistent VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs are lost and cannot be recovered. The VLS firmware will automatically generate a new VLS serial number and new Fibre Channel port WWPNs based on the node system board's MAC address. If this occurs, any capacity licenses installed on the VLS will no longer work, as they only work with the VLS serial number for which they were issued. You can obtain new capacity licenses from HP technical support using the new VLS serial number. You will also need to reconfigure your SAN to reflect the new Fibre Channel port WWPNs. Recreating VLS12000 Gateway Storage Pools To recreate the storage pools: 1. One storage pool is automatically created. Recreate any other storage pools, as needed. See Configuring Storage Pools.
