How can i backup the config on my MSA1510i?
All portals, targets, initiators, everything was completely gone.
I desperately need a way to backup the config on this box.

Re: How can i backup the config on my MSA1510i?
By design, the 1510i MSA saves the iSCSI, management, and unit configuration parameters and settings on hard drives in the MSA20 or MSA30 enclosures.
However, you can check the below link for the options to save settings:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00819725/c00819725.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
(Refer to Page : 6 under ├в Maintain detailed records of iSCSI settings├в )
You can also try the below steps to restore the iSCSI configuration and settings:
1)Power down the MSA1510i by pressing the power/standby button for 5 seconds. Power down All connected MSA20 and MSA30 disk enclosures.
2)Power up all connected MSA20 and MSA30 disk enclosures.
3)Confirm that all external disk enclosures connected to the 1510i MSA have completed power initiation and have completed their startup routines.
4)Initiate power to the 1510i MSA. The iSCSI, management, and unit configuration and settings will now load on array boot.
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Nandita

Re: How can i backup the config on my MSA1510i?
I did power everything down, powered on the MSA30 (External Storage) waited till the bootup sequence was complete. Then powered on the MSA1510i and waited until "Startup Complete" then powered on a connected server. I did this several times and each time the MSA1510i had completely lost its configuration. I understand that the config is stored on the storage, and I know the procedure to follow when booting the MSA1510i as I have described. But I STILL LOST all of my configuration. I did have it well documented so I was able to recreate the settings. My concern is that it will happen any time I shut this SAN down. I know how to do a Show Tech Support, but I was hopping that I could backup the Config in such a way that I could restore it easily instead of having to do it all manually.
Also on another note that document you referenced states that I should have been able to migrate my storage from my MSA1000. I tried and it would not recognize the array. I am a little concerned that I may have a problem.

Do you have more MSA1000 drives being migrated then there are original MSA1510i drives?

Re: How can i backup the config on my MSA1510i?
As for the migration of Drives. As I stated The MSA30 was populated with 300GB Drives and was previously attached to an MSA1000. Becuase I could not get the migration to work I ended up re-creating array's and Logical Drives on these drives using the SMU on the MSA1510i. So migration did not occur.

Re: How can i backup the config on my MSA1510i?
I'm guessing that the controller looks for its config. on the lowest-numbered shelf only, and since we had a new lowest-numbered shelf it found nothing and came up empty, while our old config was sitting on shelf 5. Correct?
