3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software command reference guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96003, October 2009)

dump—Dump cluster configuration information
The following command dumps configuration information to stdout. The information
includes the configuration of servers, network interfaces, virtual hosts, service and
device monitors, notifiers, disks, and filesystems. The configuration also includes
sleep and alerts. The export group information does not appear on the screen, but
is instead placed in a dump file in the current directory.
The dumped information does not include configuration information for the following:
HP Scalable NAS license, secret, cluster password, membership partitions, fencing
configuration, Fibre Channel switches, custom scripts and custom notifiers.
mx matrix dump
You can also save the configuration in a file for backup purposes:
mx matrix dump > <backup_file>
The backup file is placed in the current directory. The dump command creates a
separate dump file for the export group configuration. This file is named
dump_<exportgroupname>_<time_in_milliseconds>. Be sure to save these
files.
To restore the configuration, use the following command, where backup_file is
the dump file produced earlier by mx matrix dump. Before running the command,
you may need to edit the backup file. In the file, check the path and file name
specified for the export group dump file and correct the names if necessary.
mx --continue --file <backup_file>
The section “Back Up and Restore the Configuration” in the HP Scalable NAS File
Serving Software administration guide, describes additional ways to back up and
restore the HP Scalable NAS and FS Option for Linux configuration.
