Chapter 7 Troubleshooting and Replacing FRUs 83
The configuration file does not include configuration data for virtual disks and
volumes. You do not need to save this data before replacing a controller or
expansion module because the data is saved as metadata in the first sectors of
associated disk drives.
To save system configuration data to a file on the management host or network:
1. In RAIDar, connect to the IP address of one of the controller modules.
2. Select Manage > Utilities > Configuration Utilities > Save Config File.
3. Click Save Configuration File.
4. If prompted to open or save the file, click Save.
5. If prompted to specify the file location and name, do so using a
.config
extension.
The default file name is
saved_config.config
.
Note – If you are using Firefox and have a download directory set, the file is
automatically saved there.
In a dual-controller configuration, the storage system’s partner Firmware Upgrade
option is enabled by default, so when you upgrade a controller, the system
automatically ensures that both controllers have the most recent version.
Use RAIDar to verify that partner Firmware Update is enabled.
Select Monitor > Status > Advanced Settings > Misc Configuration to view the
current setting.
If partner Firmware Upgrade is disabled, select Manage > General Config > System
Configuration, and then set Partner Firmware Upgrade to Enabled.
