12 Using configuration scripts
Configuration scripts
Configuration scripts are useful for preserving settings and configuration information, particularly
when setting up multiple enclosures and Onboard Administrator modules. This eliminates the need
to manually configure each enclosure, saving time and effort in the process. Configuration scripts
can be created and used with Onboard Administrator in the browser, or through the CLI, executing
them in the same manner as a shell script is executed in Linux or UNIX.
NOTE:
Configuration scripts cannot be used to store partition information.
Current configuration
To download a current configuration for the enclosure:
1.
Click the

•

.
•
If you use Mozilla Firefox 2 or later, select
Save Page As
.
You can also select a local file or a web address for the configuration script:
•
Local file
: You can browse for the configuration file or enter the path of the configuration file
into the textbox. The maximum number of characters in the file path cannot exceed 256. After
entering the configuration file path, click the
Upload
button.
•
URL
: If the configuration file is located on a web server, enter an http:// path to it. The
maximum number of characters in the file path cannot exceed 256. Click the
Apply
button
after entering the web address.
For security reasons, the retrieved current configuration does not contain any user passwords. You
can manually edit the script to add the user passwords after the user name on the ADD USER lines.
Also, the retrieved current configuration does not contain any of the LCD settings (Lock Buttons,
Enable PIN Protection, and PIN Code). These settings cannot be added from the configuration
script.
