Saving the Configuration to a File As an Advanced Manage user, you can save the storage system's configuration settings to a file. This enables you to make a backup of your settings in case a subsequent configuration change causes a problem, or if you want to apply one system's settings to another system. For information on restoring configuration data, see "Restoring a Saved Configuration File" on page 187. The configuration file contains all system configuration data, including: • LAN configuration settings • Host port configuration settings • Enclosure management settings • Disk configuration settings • Services security settings • System information settings • System preferences settings • System configuration settings • Event notification settings The configuration file does not include configuration data for virtual disks and volumes. You do not need to save configuration data for virtual disks and volumes before replacing a controller or expansion module because the data is saved as metadata in the first sectors of associated disk drives. To save system configuration data to a file on the management host or network: 1. Select Manage > Utilities > Configuration Utilities > Save Config File. 2. Click Save Configuration File. 3. If prompted to open or save the file, click Save. 4. If prompted to specify the file location and name, do so, optionally using a .config extension. The default file name is saved_config.config. Note - If you are using Firefox and have a download directory set, the file is automatically saved there. 60 HP StorageWorks 2000 Family Modular Smart Array reference guide • August 2008
