5.6.6 Import and Export
“Import and export” allows user to save system configuration values: export, and
apply all configuration: import. For the volume configuration setting, the values are
available in export and not available in import which can avoid confliction / date-deleting
between two controllers which mean if one system already has valuable volumes in the
disks and user may forget and overwrite it. Use import could return to original
configuration. If the volume setting was also imported, user’s current volumes will be
overwritten with different configuration.
1. Import: Import all system configurations excluding volume configuration.
2. Export: Export all configurations to a file.
WARNING: “Import” will import all system configurations
excluding volume configuration; the current configurations will be
replaced.
5.6.7 Reboot and Shutdown
“Reboot and shutdown” displays “Reboot” and “Shutdown” buttons. Before
power off, it’s better to execute “Shutdown” to flush the data from cache to physical
disks. The step is necessary for data protection.
