Saving storage system configuration data
As part of an overall data protection strategy, storage system configuration data should be saved
during initial installation, and whenever major configuration changes are made to the storage
system. This includes adding or removing disk drives, creating or deleting disk groups, and adding
or deleting virtual disks. The saved configuration data can save substantial time if re-initializing
the storage system becomes necessary. The configuration data is saved to a series of files, which
should be stored in a location other than on the storage system.
You can perform this procedure from the management server where HP P6000 Command View
is installed from any host running HP Storage System Scripting Utility (called the utility) and connected
to the management server.
