Restoring Storage Portion Of Registry - HP StorageWorks 8000 - NAS User Manual

Restoring Storage Portion of Registry

The command recoverySystemStorageRegistryConfig synchronizes
the storage portion of the NAS 8000 registry with the contents of the connected
storage devices (dedicated-attach or SAN). The command operates in two phases.
For the second phase of this command to work properly, the storage devices must
be non-corrupted and contain LUNs, volume groups, and volumes that are
compatible with the NAS 8000 operating system. During a recovery of volume
groups and volumes, the text command attempts to determine the user-assigned
names of the volume groups and volumes by looking in the NAS 8000 registry. If
the text command finds no usernames in the registry, generic names are
substituted. After the recovery, the administrator may change the generic volume
group names and volume names.
To recover the storage portion of the registry in an HA environment, you must
follow some special considerations. See
Array in a High Availability Environment
The first phase resets the storage portion of the NAS 8000 registry to factory
default settings. This capability is useful when you remove old storage from a
NAS 8000 and add new, clean storage. You may choose to stop this command
after the factory reset takes place.
The second phase is to examine the contents of the connected storage devices,
and to rebuild the storage portion of the NAS 8000 registry so that it
accurately reflects the contents of that storage.
