system. This includes adding or removing disk drives, creating or deleting disk groups, and adding
or deleting virtual disks. The saved configuration data can save substantial time should it ever
become necessary to re-initialize the storage system. The configuration data is saved to a series
of files stored in a location other than on the storage system.
This procedure can be performed from the management server where HP P6000 Command View
is installed, or any host that can run HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) to communicate
with HP P6000 Command View.
NOTE:
For more information about using HP SSSU, see the HP Storage System Scripting Utility
Reference. See
.
1.
Double-click the HP SSSU desktop icon to run the application. When prompted, enter Manager
(management server name or IP address), User name, and Password.
2.
Enter LS SYSTEM to display the EVA storage systems managed by the management server.
3.
Enter SELECT SYSTEM system name, where system name is the name of the storage
system.
The storage system name is case sensitive. If there are spaces between the letters in the name,
quotes must enclose the name: for example, SELECT SYSTEM “Large EVA”.
4.
Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION, specifying the full path and filename of the output files
for the configuration data.
The configuration data is stored in a series of from one to five files, which are SSSU scripts.
The file names begin with the name you select, with the restore step appended. For example,
if you specify a file name of LargeEVA.txt, the resulting configuration files would be
LargeEVA_Step1A.txt, LargeEVA_Step1B
, and so on.
The contents of the configuration files can be viewed with a text editor.
NOTE:
If the storage system contains disk drives of different capacities, the HP SSSU procedures
used do not guarantee that disk drives of the same capacity will be exclusively added to the same
disk group. If you need to restore an array configuration that contains disks of different sizes and
types, you must manually recreate these disk groups. The controller software and the CAPTURE
CONFIGURATION
command are not designed to automatically restore this type of configuration.
