Saving Configuration (NVRAM) to a Disk

You can back up your controller-dependent configuration information. Use this
function to save configuration information whenever a configuration change is
made.

The logical configuration information is stored within the logical drive.

Note –

A logical drive must exist for the controller to write NVRAM content onto it.

1. Choose “system Functions

→

Controller maintenance

→

Save nvram to disks.”

2. Choose Yes to confirm.

A prompt confirms that the NVRAM information has been successfully saved.

To restore the configuration, see

“Restoring Your Configuration (NVRAM) From a

File” on page 7-24
