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 one to five files, which are 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 resultant configuration files would be LargeEVA_Step1A.txt,
LargeEVA_Step1B, etc. Files which do not contain configuration information are not created
and therefore are not available to be restored.
The contents of the configuration files can be viewed with a text editor.
5. Enter exit.
TIP:
When capturing the HP Command View EVA configuration, it is a best practice to specify the SAVE
ALL option. This helps to capture critical data such as the WWN, useful for rebuilding the array
configuration.
NOTE:
You cannot use the utility to restore a configuration that contains disk drives of different capacities.
You must manually restore that type of configuration. See the Restoring an array configuration with
different disk sizes and types" section in HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference
for more information.
You can run the CAPTURE VALIDATE command for each of the files generated by the CAPTURE
CONFIGURATION command to determine if the file has been modified since the initial capture.
As a best practice, also use the following commands to collect configuration data:
•
LS DISK_GROUP FULL
•
LS HOST FULL
•
LS VDISK FULL
If applicable, use the following commands as well:
•
LS ISCSI_HOST FULL
•
LS ISCSI_LUN FULL
For more information about using the utility or using the CAPTURE commands, see the HP StorageWorks
Storage System Scripting Utility reference. See
this document.
