Configuring a Storage Solution

6.6 Saving the Configuration
Saving the configuration information is a very useful feature of StorView. When you create or make
changes to arrays, logical drives, hot spares, SAN LUN Mappings, Snapshots, or change the parameters
of a specific controller setting, a file is written (known as the configuration) to all the disk drives that are
members of the array. StorView has the ability to capture that file allowing you to save it to an external
file. Should the situation occur where a configuration is cleared, you are instantly able to re-establish your
storage system by restoring the configuration from the external file. It is recommended to periodically
save the configuration.
Caution
If you cannot restore the configuration exactly as it was, you will not be able to restore access to the data
and it will be lost.
