6.6.6 Saving the RAID Configuration to a Diskette
Save a copy of your RAID configuration on a diskette. Then, in the event that
your controller ever fails, you can restore your configuration onto a new
controller from a backup copy on floppy diskette.
To save the configuration, follow these steps:
1. Insert a blank diskette in your system's floppy drive.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Tools option from the main menu, and
press the Enter key to select it. The utility displays the Tools menu.
3. Press the Enter key to select the Backup/Restore Conf option. A brief
message appears explaining this option.
4. Press any key to Continue. The Backup/Restore Conf menu appears.
5. Select Backup from the Backup/Restore Conf menu. The utility prompts
your to enter a name for the file.
6. Enter the path (for example, a:) and an appropriate file name with up to eight
characters not including the file extension and press the Enter key. The
utility displays a message asking whether it should overwrite an existing file.
7. Press the Y key to overwrite an existing file. A message appears indicating
that the utility is saving the configuration. The Backup/Restore menu then
appears when the utility finishes saving the configuration.
Or,
Press the N key to return to the Backup/Restore menu without saving the
file.
8 Press the Esc key to exit. The main menu appears.
9. Press the Esc key twice, then highlight Yes and press the Enter key to exit
the utility.
10. Reboot your system and start your operating system.
This completes the configuration of your array. If you installed your subsystem
for the first time, go now to the RAID Array 200 Online Management Utility for
your operating system User's Guide to load the online management utility onto
your system. The online management utility provides you with automatic
notification of a change in status of the subsystem. Loading the online
management utility onto your system completes the installation of your RAID
Array 200 Series subsystem.
