Parameter Description
file="C:\Array Backups

does not automatically append a file extension to
the saved file. You must specify a file extension
when entering the file name.
validator
The alphanumeric security code required to
restore a storage array to an existing configuration.
Use the save storageArray dbmValidator
command to generate the required validation
information XML file.
sourceLocation
This parameter specifies the location from which
to retrieve backup database information. The
parameter must be included for consistency, but
the only allowed value is onboard.
controller
This parameter specifies the RAID controller
module from which data will be exclusively
retrieved, if sourceLocation is set to cache.
Enclose the RAID controller module identifier in
square brackets ([ ]). If the controller parameter
is not specified, data might be retrieved from either
RAID controller module.
Valid RAID controller module identifiers are 0 or 1,
where 0 is the RAID controller module in slot 0,
and
1 is the RAID controller module in slot 1.
contentType
This parameter specifies the content type of the
data that is retrieved.
• If the parameter is set to raidConfiguration,
the RAID configuration data is retrieved. The
RAID configuration data includes disk groups
and associated virtual disks.
• If the parameter is set to all, all of the data
including disk pool configuration data is
retrieved.
The default is raidConfiguration.
Notes
Depending on the size of the database image, restoring the database might take up to 30 minutes. The
host software does not show the RAID controller modules in an optimal state till all actions for loading
the database image are completed on the RAID controllers.
