Saving the configuration of the library

The Save/Restore feature enables you to save configuration information of the Interface Manager
card and interface controllers. The information saved includes library settings (name, contact
information), connection properties, advanced feature settings (host access, partitioning), and
SNMP alert settings. A saved configuration stores the settings of all the features on the Configuration
tab. It does not save firmware versions or data on tape cartridges.

CAUTION:

For firmware versions I231 or previous, saving and restoring the configuration must

be done with the same version of the Interface Manager firmware. For example, you cannot save
the configuration with Interface Manager firmware version I230, upgrade to version I231, and
then restore the configuration.

For firmware versions I240 and later, you will always be able to restore configurations up to two
firmware revisions back.

NOTE:

Save the configuration of the system after any change to the physical configuration of

the library. A successful restore will not occur if the configuration file contains references to a
physical configuration that no longer exists.
