MSA1000 Configuration backup

Rodney A. Shoemaker — Wed, 10 May 2006 09:01:48 GMT

I'm trying to dummy-proof my DR plan and I was wondering if there is a way to backup the MSA1000 configuration so that it could be "re-applied". Or does it just have to be documented? Is it possible to write a terminal script that will run under the CLI?

Most of your msa1000 configuration is stored on disk drives - arrays and logical disks configuration.
Other like controller setings, SSP confoguration you have to monualy write down - or make screen snapshot.

Rodney,

From the CLI of the MSA1000 you can say SHOW TECH_SUPPORT.

This basically displays all the config of the array, so a quick copy n' paste of this should do the trick for you.

You can capture information with ACU CLI.
