Performing a configuration save

A configuration save operation can be done at any time using the following process:
Procedure
1. Log into the StoreOnce CLI using the Cluster Management IP address of the Management Console.
Use a login account with administrator privileges.
2. Run the command config save devices.
This command will complete immediately and return to the prompt, the configuration settings will be
created in the background.
3. Run the command config show list.
Check that the configuration file has been created; it will only appear in the list once the creation
process is complete.
4. To retrieve the configuration file from the appliance, SFTP into the appliance using an SFTP client and
a login account of an appliance administrator.
5. From the /config directory copy the configuration zip file and associated text file to a local PC.

Prerequisites for a configuration restore

Before restoring the configuration verify that:
• All hardware is physically repaired or replaced with no defects (such as failed disks).
• If recovering an entire cluster or couplet then all nodes must be reconfigured and running before
attempting to recover settings.
• There are no configured devices (VTL, NAS or StoreOnce Catalyst devices) on any nodes in a
couplet.
• All settings in the configuration text file are manually restored.

Restoring from the configuration zip file

To restore only StoreOnce device settings (VTL, NAS, StoreOnce Catalyst, Replication and
Housekeeping), apply the configuration zip file as follows:
Procedure
1. The saved configuration zip file is in the config folder on the appliance.
NOTE: This assumes that the appliance was not repaired or replaced; no QR was necessary so the
configuration file is still on the system. It is advisable to use the CLI config show list command
to check for the name of the latest zip file.
2. Run the StoreOnce CLI command:
