Maintenance

Use this page
appliance to a saved configuration, restart, or shut down the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that execution of several of the maintenance features also requires
that you either restart or shut down the appliance.

Save/Restore Appliance Configuration

• Save. This feature saves all configuration-related information, such as virtual
libraries, devices, and host-system information, to a location specified by you. (We
strongly recommend that you invoke this feature after you initially set up your
system, and whenever you add a new library or tape device or change configuration
settings.) After the message appears that indicates a CFG file was successfully
created, click Continue, and then save the file to a location on your management
system.
• Restore. This feature restores the selected saved configuration (it re-creates the
virtual libraries, devices, and host-system information).
IMPORTANT: Invoking the Restore feature deletes all existing backup data from the
appliance. That is, it only restores the configuration; it does not restore backup data.

Shut Down/Restart

Before using either of these options, make sure that none of the initiators (application and
backup systems) are currently accessing the appliance (that is, make sure that an initiator
is not using the appliance to perform a backup).
• Restart. To shut down the appliance briefly and then automatically restart it, click
this button. Wait several minutes before you log back on to the GUI.
• Shut Down. To shut down the appliance and leave the power off, click this button.
Wait several minutes before you perform any maintenance on the appliance.

Update System

Updates for your product may be available via the Web site. An update may be for the
software, for the different instances of firmware on the appliance, or for both. We
recommend that you note what version of the product you have installed and check the
Web site to see if an update is available.
