Adding a Saved Storage Configuration
When you replace a controller, or when you want to duplicate an existing storage
configuration on a new controller, you can add a saved configuration to the controller.
WARNING: Before you clear a configuration, be sure to save any data that you
want to keep. Clearing a configuration deletes all data from the disks of the
existing configuration. Be sure that the operating system is not installed on this
configuration.
WARNING: When you add a saved configuration to a replacement controller, be
sure that the number and size of the physical disks connected to the controller
are exactly the same as when the configuration was saved.
