Restoring a Saved Configuration File

As an Advanced Manage user, if you have created a backup configuration file as
explained in "Saving the Configuration to a File" on page 60, you can load (restore)
the configuration data to either:
The same system to revert its current configuration to the saved configuration
■
A second system to "clone" the first system's configuration
■
Note –
This data is saved as metadata in the first sectors of associated disk drives.
To restore a configuration file:
1. Select Manage > Utilities > Configuration Utilities > Restore Config File.
2. Select the IP address option you want to use for the restore:

Description
Restores the configuration file to the system that SMU is
currently connected to and retains the currently assigned IP
addresses. Use this to restore a configuration file to the
current system without changing IP addresses of the
system. This option ignores the IP addresses in the
configuration file.
Restores the configuration file to the system that SMU is
currently connected to and changes the system's IP
addresses to what you enter on the next page. Use this
option to clone the system and change the IP addresses to
what you enter. This option ignores the IP addresses in the
configuration file. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and
gateway IP address values for each controller in the same
system. After the file is restored, you must reconnect to the
system using one of the new IP addresses.
Restores the configuration file to the system that SMU is
currently connected to and changes the IP addresses to
those contained in the configuration file. Use this option to
restore a configuration file to the current system when the
IP addresses in the configuration file are the IP addresses
you want assigned to the system. After the file is restored,
you might need to reconnect to the system using one of the
IP addresses from the file.
