Table 5.31 Save Configuration on the Controller Convention Description MegaCli -CfgSave -f FileName -aN Saves the configuration for the selected controller(s) to the given filename. 5.9.6 Restore the Configuration Data from File Use the command in Table 5.32 to read the configuration from the file and load it on the selected controller(s). You can restore the read/write properties and RAID configuration using hot spares. Table 5.32 Restore Configuration Data from File Convention Description MegaCli -CfgRestore -f FileName -aN Reads the configuration from the file and loads it on the controller. MegaCLI can store or restore all read and write controller properties, all read and write properties for virtual drives, and the RAID configuration including hot spares. Note the following: • MegaCLI does not validate the setup when restoring the RAID configuration. • The -CfgSave option stores the configuration data and controller properties in the file. Configuration data has only the device ID and sequence number information of the drives used in the configuration. The CfgRestore option will fail if the same device IDs of the drives are not present. 5.9.7 Manage Foreign Configuration Information Use the command in Table 5.33 to manage configurations from other controllers, called foreign configurations, for the selected controller(s). You can scan, preview, import, and clear foreign configurations. Note: The actual status of virtual drives and drives can differ from the information displayed in the option. It is suggested that you run -Preview before you import a foreign configuration. 5-24 MegaRAID Command Tool
