Step H. Save Configuration And Initialize; Save To Binary File - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 5
HP NetRAID Assistant asks if you want to initialize your logical drives
now. Logical drives must be initialized before they can be used. If you
have other adapters to configure, you may wish to do that first and then
initialize all the logical drives.
2. Click the Cancel button to defer initialization of the logical drives until
later, or click OK to initialize logical drives now.
NOTE
If you have an HP NetRAID-3Si adapter, initialization is very
fast. If you have an HP NetRAID or HP NetRAID-1 adapter,
initialization can take up to several hours for a large logical
drive.

Step H. Save Configuration and Initialize

In this step, you will do the following:
Save the configuration to a binary file
Print a copy of the configuration
If you have more than one adapter, configure any other adapters
Initialize the logical drives if you have not done so already

Save to Binary File

To save the configuration to a binary file:
1. Choose Save from the Configuration menu. The Save Configuration
dialog box appears.
2. Type the file name and directories to be used to save the configuration.
The file type should be *.cfg.
3. Click an "X" in the Read Only box if you want to make the saved file
read-only.
4. Click Save to save the configuration to the designated file.
NOTE
Be sure to save your adapter configuration to a file. This
information is essential when replacing a failed adapter.
