Note Saving and Loading the Configuration CAUTION Best practice is to save your configuration files to a folder on a server that will be accessible at all times. Should SNC failure occur, this allows you to quickly reconfigure a replacement. Files that are saved when this option is chosen include the device map, Fibre Channel and SCSI port settings, VPM, SFM, eVPS settings, and channel zoning settings. The device map is a record of the target IDs, device LUNs, and assigned LUNs. 1 2 3 Right-click an appliance in the navigation panel or the graphical panel. Type a name for the configuration you wish to save or select one from the list of configurations already on the server, if any. 62 Performing Administrative Tasks After a few seconds the message Successfully received configuration from xxx. xxx. xxx. xxx appears in the Status/Message Area. It defaults to the "cfg" subfolder of the "Client" folder. After a few seconds the message Configuration file saved successfully appears in the Status/Message Area. It is a good idea to save the configuration both locally and on the server to ensure that you have access to the file. Note 8 Select Close when you are done. It is important that you save the configuration of each appliance initially and any time there is a change in the device address maps, Fibre Channel settings or SCSI channel settings. CAUTION Loading a Local Configuration File Your service representative may advise you to load a saved file onto your SNC. 1 Right-click an appliance in the navigation panel or the graphical panel.
