Example 1 Saving configuration data on a Windows host 1. Double-click on the SSSU desktop icon to run the application. When prompted, enter Manager (management server name or IP address), User name, and Password. 2. Enter LS SYSTEM to display the storage systems managed by the management server. 3. Enter SELECT SYSTEM system name, where system name is the name of the storage system. 4. Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION pathname\filename, where pathname identifies the location where the configuration files will be saved, and filename is the name used as the prefix for the configurations files: for example, CAPTURE CONFIGURATION c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA 5. Enter EXIT to close the SSSU command window. Example 2 Restoring configuration data on a Windows host If it is necessary to restore the storage system configuration, it can be done using the following procedure. 1. Double-click on the SSSU desktop icon to run the application. 2. Enter FILE pathname\filename, where pathname identifies the location where the configuration files are be saved and filename is the name of the first configuration file: for example, FILE c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA_Step1A.txt 3. Repeat the preceding step for each configuration file. Use files in sequential order. For example, use Step1A before Step1B, and so on. Files that are not needed for configuration data are not created, so there is no need to restore them. Saving or restoring the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration After the initial setup of the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules, save the configuration for each module, in case a service action is required. The Save Configuration function (Figure 20 (page 49)) enables you to save the configuration from a selected module to a file on the management server. You can use this file as a restoration point. The Full Configuration Restore function enables the restoration of the configuration to the point when the configuration was last saved (such as during the LUN presentation to new initiators). If a new controller is installed, the full configuration can be restored and no reconfiguration is required. When using HP P6000 Command View to uninitialize a P6300 or P6500 array, the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules are issued reset mappings and are rebooted, to avoid stale persistent data, without clearing configured IP addresses. To save or restore the configuration: 1. Select the iSCSI controller in the Navigation pane. 2. Select Set Options. 3. Select Save/Restore configuration. 4. Select the configuration method. 48 P63x0/P65x0 EVA operation

Example 1 Saving configuration data on a Windows host
1.
Double-click on the SSSU desktop icon to run the application. When prompted, enter Manager
(management server name or IP address), User name, and Password.
2.
Enter
LS SYSTEM
to display the storage systems managed by the management server.
3.
Enter
SELECT SYSTEM system name
, where
system name
is the name of the storage
system.
4.
Enter
CAPTURE CONFIGURATION pathname\filename
, where
pathname
identifies the
location where the configuration files will be saved, and
filename
is the name used as the
prefix for the configurations files: for example,
CAPTURE CONFIGURATION
c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA
5.
Enter
EXIT
to close the SSSU command window.
Example 2 Restoring configuration data on a Windows host
If it is necessary to restore the storage system configuration, it can be done using the following
procedure.
1.
Double-click on the SSSU desktop icon to run the application.
2.
Enter
FILE pathname\filename
, where
pathname
identifies the location where the
configuration files are be saved and
filename
is the name of the first configuration file: for
example,
FILE c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA_Step1A.txt
3.
Repeat the preceding step for each configuration file. Use files in sequential order. For example,
use Step1A before Step1B, and so on. Files that are not needed for configuration data are
not created, so there is no need to restore them.
Saving or restoring the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration
After the initial setup of the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules, save the configuration for each module,
in case a service action is required. The Save Configuration function (
Figure 20 (page 49)
) enables
you to save the configuration from a selected module to a file on the management server. You can
use this file as a restoration point. The Full Configuration Restore function enables the restoration
of the configuration to the point when the configuration was last saved (such as during the LUN
presentation to new initiators). If a new controller is installed, the full configuration can be restored
and no reconfiguration is required. When using HP P6000 Command View to uninitialize a P6300
or P6500 array, the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules are issued reset mappings and are rebooted,
to avoid stale persistent data, without clearing configured IP addresses.
To save or restore the configuration:
1.
Select the iSCSI controller in the Navigation pane.
2.
Select
Set Options
.
3.
Select
Save/Restore configuration
.
4.
Select the configuration method.
