Managing Configuration Files
Changes made to the configuration of a HP VMA SAN Gateway redundant pair take effect
immediately, but those changes can be lost if they are not saved to a configuration file. The HP
VMA SAN Gateway cluster stores one or more configuration files on persistent storage, one of
which is designated as the active configuration file.
The active configuration file is where changes are stored when you save a configuration. Whenever
the system reboots, it loads the configuration settings from the designated active configuration file.
The system backs up the active configuration file automatically.
Saving Configurations
To store current configuration parameters to persistent storage in the active configuration file, enter
either the
configuration write or write memory command in the CLI. Or, you can save the
configuration from the HP VMA Web Interface, as described in Managing Configuration Files on
page 132.
In the following example, the
configuration write command is used to save changes to the
cluster configuration:
