Task Checklist - HP EVA P6000 Software Manual

4. Enter CAPTURE CONFIGURATION, specifying the full paths and filenames of the output files
for the configuration data.
The configuration data is stored in a series of one to five files, which are scripts. The file names
begin with the name you select, followed by the restore step. For example, if you specify a
file name of LargeEVA.txt, the configuration files would be named
LargeEVA_Step1A.txt, LargeEVA_Step1B.txt, etc. Files that do not contain
configuration information are not created and therefore cannot be restored.
You can view the contents of the configuration files with a text editor.
5. Enter exit.
NOTE: You cannot use the utility to restore a configuration that contains disk drives of different
capacities. You must manually restore that type of configuration. See "Restoring an array
configuration with different disk sizes and types" in the HP Storage System Scripting Utility Reference
for more information.
TIP: When capturing the HP P6000 Command View configuration, it is a best practice to specify
the SAVE ALL option. This captures critical data such as the WWN, which is useful for rebuilding
the array configuration.
You can run the CAPTURE VALIDATE command for each file generated by the CAPTURE
CONFIGURATION command to determine if the file has been modified since the initial capture.
As a best practice, also use the following commands to collect configuration data:
LS DISK_GROUP FULL
LS HOST FULL
LS VDISK FULL
If applicable, use the following commands as well:
LS ISCSI_HOST FULL
LS ISCSI_LUN FULL
For more information about using the utility or the CAPTURE commands, see the HP Storage System
Scripting Utility Reference. See
