Execute Script
Here you can open the DS3500 Script Editor. This Editor can be a very effective and useful
tool to manage your subsystem. For more information about how to use it, see 17.2.1, "Script
Editor" on page 536.
Load Storage Subsystem Configuration option
In 17.7.1, "Sample command: Save configuration script file" on page 549, we describe how to
save a configuration script file based on the current environment. This is done on the CLI
using the save StorageSubsystem configuration command. With the Load Storage
Subsystem Configuration option in Storage Manager, you can load a saved file so that the
configuration is applied to another storage system
This option will append the uploaded configuration to your storage subsystem unless you do
either of the following operations:
Reset the storage subsystem's configuration before loading the new one.
Edit the saved script so that it contains the reset configuration command.
To upload a configuration file, do the following steps:
1. Select this option, and the load configuration notes will appear. Read them carefully, and
then click Yes.
2. The Script Editor will open and you will be prompted to select the configuration file. Select
your configuration file and click OK.
3. Now the file gets loaded into the Script Editor and the Confirm Load Configuration window
appears:
a. If you want to append a configuration to the existing one, click Execute, and the script
will append the uploaded configuration to the existing one.
b. If you want to restore your subsystem's configuration before the new one is uploaded,
select Edit and look in the Script Editor for the following lines and uncomment them, as
shown in Figure 6-6. After uncommenting these two lines, select Tools  Verify 
Execute from the Menu bar to execute the script and upload the new configuration.
Figure 6-6 Uncomment lines to delete the existing configuration before uploading a new one
