Saving Configuration Settings

NOTE:
The VLS firmware ensures a persistent VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs, so that
in the event of any hardware failure and replacement (such as the system board or Fibre Channel
host bus adapter card), the VLS still appears exactly the same to the external SAN. It does this by
generating a VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs at first boot, which are based on
the system board's MAC address. The VLS serial number and Fibre Channel port WWPNs are saved
on the VLS hard drives and with the virtual library configuration settings in the configuration file.
HP highly recommends that you save your virtual library configuration and the VLS network settings
to an external configuration file, so they can be restored in the event of a disaster.
To save your virtual library configuration and the VLS network settings to an external configuration

1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See
