Deleting Logical Drives; Using Configuration Files - Compaq 124708-001 - ProLiant Cluster - 1850 Software User's Manual

Deleting Logical Drives

1. Click the logical drives that you want to delete.
2. From the Storage pull-down menu, select Logical Drive, then select
Delete. A system message appears, asking if you want to delete all disks
in the group.
3. Click Yes to delete all the disks in the group.

Using Configuration Files

You can use a configuration file to save the configuration settings of the
CR3500 RAID Controllers and disk drives and view or reconstruct the settings
at a later time. You also can revert to one of these saved configurations at any
time. The CR3500 Configuration Utility reads the configuration file you
choose and sets up your subsystem accordingly.
Saving Configuration Settings to a File
From the Storage pull-down menu, select Controller, then select
Configuration, then select Save. The current configuration settings, including
caches, LUNs, host ports, and strip size will be saved.
Restoring Configuration Settings from a File
You can automatically restore or configure your entire storage subsystem from
a previously saved configuration file. The CR3500 Configuration Utility can
configure your subsystem from a file only if the file corresponds to your
subsystem's hardware configuration.
CAUTION: If you delete a logical drive, all of your data on that logical drive will
be lost. The logical drives in your storage subsystem are logical units that
contain your user data. Although they do not exist in a physical sense, it is their
logical structure that ties together the physical pieces of your data spread
across their members. Use extreme caution when deleting a logical drive.
CAUTION: When saving a configuration, all controller data and RAID set data is
preserved at the time of the Save operation. When restoring a configuration, the
configuration being restored must match EXACTLY the configuration when it
was saved. Any RAID sets in existence when the Restore Configuration operation
takes place that were not in existence when the configuration was saved will be
reinitialized, and any data on those RAID sets will be lost. Make sure you have a
recent backup copy of your configuration data before you execute this operation.
