HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.4 Management Console user guide (AG421-96002, March 2007)

140 CONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN ACCELERATOR
When you Save your configuration settings, the values are written to disk and saved
permanently. They take effect after you restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service.
Each time you save your configuration settings, they are written to the current running
configuration, and a backup is created. For example, if the running configuration is
myconfig and you save it, myconfig is backed up to myconfig.bak and myconfig is
overwritten with the current configuration settings.
The Configuration Manager is a utility that enables you to save configurations as
backups or active configuration backups.
The Configuration Manager also includes an Import Configuration utility to support
these common use cases:
 Replacing an HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If you are swapping one HP EFS
WAN Accelerator for another, you can import all of the network information
(although not the licenses) and disconnect the old HP EFS WAN Accelerator
before you switch configurations on the new HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
 Configuration template for a large deployment. You can avoid entering the
complete HP EFS WAN Accelerator configuration for each of many appliances
by setting up a template HP EFS WAN Accelerator and importing template
settings to the configuration list.
IMPORTANT: Some configuration settings require you to restart the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator service for the settings to take effect. For detailed information about restarting the
HP EFS WAN Accelerator service, see “Starting and Stopping Services” on page 144.
