5. Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION, specifying the full path and filename of the outp ut fi les for
the configuration data.
The configuration data is stored in a series of from one to five files, which are SSS U scripts. The
file names begin with the name you choose, with the restore step appended. For example,
if you specify a file name of LargeEVA.txt,theresultantconfiguration files would be
LargeEVA_Step1A.txt, LargeEVA_Step1B,etc.
The contents of the configuration files ca n be viewed with a text editor.
NOTE:
If the storage system contains disk drives of different cap acities, the SSSU procedures used do not
guarantee that disk drives of the same c apacity will be exclusively added to the sam e disk group. If you
need to restore an array configuration that contains disks of different sizes and types, you must manually
r ec reate these disk groups. The controller software and the utility’s CAPTURE CONFIGURATION
command are not designed to automatically restore this type of configuration. For more information,
refer to the
HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference .
The following examples illustrate how to save and restore the storage system configuration data using
SSSU on a Windows host.
Example 1. S aving co n figuration data usin g SSSU on a W ind ows Host
Run SSSU from a DOS Command Window on the SM A, a Windows Workstation or a Windows Server
that can access the SMA by TCP/IP or the management host running Command View.
1. Click Run on the Window Start menu.
2. Enter cmd in the Open field to open the DOS Command Window.
3. Change to the directory (CD) in which you have installed SSSU. For example, C:> cd \SSSUDir
4. Enter SSSU to run the application.
5. Enter SELECT MANAGER <SMAname or ip_addr> user=<username> pass=<userpass-
word>.
6. Enter SHOW SYSTEM to display the EVA storage systems m anaged by the S MA or Windows Host.
7. Enter SELECT SYSTEM <EVA_Name>,whereEVA_nam e isthenameofthestoragesystem.
The storage system name is case sensitive. If there are spaces between the letters in the name, quotes
must enclose the name. For example, SELECT SYSTEM “Large EVA”.
8. Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION <pathname\filename>,wherepathname identifies the
location where the configuration files will be saved, and filename isthenameusedastheprefixfor
the configurations files. For example, CAPTURE CONFIGURATION c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA
9. Enter EXIT to close the DOS Command Window.
Example 2. Restori ng configuration data using SSSU on a Windows Host
If it is necessary to restore the storage sy stem configuration, it can be done using the
1. Click Run on the Window Start menu.
2. Enter cmd in the Open field to open the DOS Command Window.
3. Change to the directory (CD) in which you have installed SSSU. For example, C:> cd \SSSUDir
4. Enter SSSU to run the application.
5. Enter FILE <pathname\filename>,wherepathname identi
fies the location where the
configuration files are be saved a nd filename is the name of th e first configuration file. For example,
FILE c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA_Step1A.txt
6. Repeat the preceding step for each configuration file.
