arcconf saveconfig
Saves the controller configuration to a XML server template file, including the controller type,
operational settings, physical drive size, logical drive size, RAID level, and more. Use this file
with the PLAYCONFIG command to deploy the same controller configuration to other servers
in your storage space; see
page 27
for more information.
Note:
Be sure to check the log file to verify that the configuration XML file was created
successfully. The exit codes, shown below, indicate the success or failure of the operation.
Syntax
ARCCONF SAVECONFIG [Input XML File] [LogFile]
Parameters
Input XML File is the pathname of the server template file. The default name (if you omit this
parameter) is C:\PMCS\Logs\saveconfig.xml.
LogFile is the pathname of the error log file. By default, the error log is available at
C:\PMCS\Logs\saveconfig.log.
Example
ARCCONF SAVECONFIG server1_config.xml C:\LOGS\SERVER1.LOG
arcconf savesupportarchive
Saves configuration and status information to help Adaptec Customer Support diagnose a
problem with your system. Saved information includes (but is not limited to) device logs, drive
logs, event logs, error logs, controller logs, and SSD SMART statistics. (For more information
about SMART statistics, see
arcconf getsmartstats
on page 23
.)
The log files are saved in the Support folder in the standard logs directory for your operating
system (/var/log for Linux, the ASM install directory on Windows, and so on).
Note:
Unlike the Save Support Archive feature in Adaptec Storage Manager, this command
does not create a zip (“archive”) file. It simply saves the support files and logs in the Support
folder.
Syntax
