file can be just RAID configuration data or all data, including data for RAID configuration, disk groups and
disk pools. The data in a cache location always includes all data.
Before using this command with the
file
option, you must first obtain a validator string (a security code)
from your Technical Support representative. To obtain a validator, use the
save storageArray
dbmValidator
command to generate an XML file that contains validator information.
Syntax
load storageArray dbmDatabase
((file=" filename " validator=" validatorValue ") | sourceLocation=onboard)
[controller [(0|1)]]
[contentType=(raidConfigration | all)]
Parameters

does not automatically append a file extension to
the saved file. You must specify a file extension
when entering the file name.

restore a storage array to an existing configuration.
Use the
