Configuration
4. Update from Remote File: This field allows you to define the path to a
configuration file (one that you previously saved—see Step 6 below).
Click on the Browse button if you need to browse for the location of the
file, then click Update to update your configuration settings.
5. Update from Local File: This field updates Array settings from a local
configuration file on the Array. Select one of the following files from the
drop-down list:
• factory.conf: The factory default settings
• lastboot.conf: The setting values from just before the last reboot
• saved.conf: The last settings that were explicitly saved
Click Update to update your configuration settings.
6. Download Current Configuration: Click on the link titled
xs_current.conf to download the Array’s current configuration settings to
a file (that you can upload back to the Array at a later date). The system
will prompt you for a destination for the file. The file will contain the
Array’s current configuration values.
7. Reset to Factory Defaults: Click on the Reset/Preserve IP Settings button
to reset the system’s current configuration settings to the factory default
values, except for the Array’s management IP address which is left unchanged.
This function allows you to maintain management connectivity to the
Array even after the reset. This will retain the Gigabit Ethernet port’s IP
address (see “Network Interfaces” on page 183), or if you have
configured management over a VLAN it will maintain the management
VLAN’s IP address (see “VLAN Management” on page 207). All other
previous configuration settings will be lost.

Important! When you have initially configured your Array, or have made
significant changes to its configuration, we strongly recommend that you
save the configuration to a file in order to have a safe backup of your working
configuration.
