HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.7A for Novell NetWare Release Notes

Saving Your Configuration
25Release Notes – HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution
Software Version 8.7A for Novell NetWare
FRUTIL cannot be run in remote copy set environments on the target side specifically
when I/O is in progress.
If the host load was stopped, you can run FRUTIL on the initiator or target. If the host
load is not quiesced and FRUTIL is run while remote copy I/O is running, the
normalization process is reset.
Saving Your Configuration
When enabled, the SAVE_CONFIGURATION function allows you to do the following
(supported on single controller configurations only):
• Save a configuration to a disk or storageset. The configuration may be retrieved
later and downloaded onto a replacement controller.
• Retain code patches to the ACS software.
Saving a Configuration to Previously Initialized Storagesets
If any storageset within the configuration was previously initialized with the
INITIALIZE container-name SAVE_CONFIGURATION command to save your
configuration to disk, it is not necessary to reconfigure your devices with a new
controller.
SAVE_CONFIGURATION also retains code patch information to the software.
This option is supported on single controller configurations only.
ACS Version 8.7 saves any installed software patches on disks initialized with the
SAVE_CONFIGURATION command. To replace a controller and restore the configuration
from a disk, you do not have to reinstall any software patches.
Configuration information cannot be retrieved from storagesets created on other HSx
controllers (for example, HSD, HSJ, or HSZ controllers). You can only restore a
configuration from a configuration saved on this or another HSG80 array controller.
Avoiding Problem Situations
Under certain conditions, you may experience unusual array controller behavior. This
section presents information to help you avoid such situations and to recover from
them if they occur.
