2. If one or more capacity and/or deduplication licenses had been added to the VLS, re-install the
VLS capacity and deduplication licenses. See Re-installing the VLS Licenses.
The node is now fully restored.
Restoring the Configuration Settings
The VLS virtual library configuration and network settings can be quickly restored from the configuration
file created by performing Saving Configuration Settings. See Restoring the Virtual Library Configuration
from a Configuration File.
If a configuration file was not created, you must reconfigure the network settings, and rebuild the
virtual library and virtual drive configurations. The cartridge configurations, however, do not have to
be rebuilt, as they are stored on the disk arrays. See Rebuilding the Virtual Library Configuration.
Restoring the Virtual Library Configuration from a Configuration File
Restoring the virtual library configuration from the configuration file restores the virtual library and
virtual drive configurations, and administrative and network settings (including the VLS serial number
and persistent Fibre Channel port WWPNs).
NOTE:
Configuration files are not backwards compatible with earlier firmware versions. For example, a
configuration file created on a system running firmware version 3.1.2 will not work on the system at
firmware version 3.1.0. Make sure your system is at the version that created the configuration file
before restoring the configuration.
To restore the virtual library and network settings from the configuration file:
1. Set the network settings so you can open a Command View VLS session. See Setting the Network
Settings.
2. Select Chassis in the navigation tree in Command View VLS.
3. Click Restore Config under Maintenance Tasks. The Restore Config window opens.
4. Click Browse.
5. Locate and select the desired configuration file.
6. Click Open.
7. Click Next Step. A message displays indicating that the file was uploaded successfully.
8. Click Next to start loading the configuration file.
After the configuration file is loaded, the system automatically applies the configuration and
reboots.
Rebuilding the Virtual Library Configuration
To reconfigure the network settings and rebuild the virtual library configuration:
1. Set the network settings so you can open a Command View VLS session. See Setting the Network
Settings.
2. Rebuild the virtual library and virtual drive configurations and re-enter your other configuration
settings, such as the notification alert settings. See Configuration, Management, and Monitoring.
