7.3.6 Saving a Copy of the RAID Configuration on a Diskette
Save a copy of your RAID configuration on a diskette, because the utility stores
the configuration on EEPROM/NVRAM on the controller board. If your
controller ever fails, you will need to restore the configuration from disk after
you install a new controller.
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. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Backup from the
Backup/Restore conf menu and press the Enter key to select it. 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 exiting 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.
