HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA Administrator Guide (T3687-96043, December 2005)

IMPORTANT:

If the password for the HP Command View EVA instance on the remote or standby server is different from

the password imported with the local replication manager database , all storage resources on the remote

management server will be displayed in an unknown state. You must change the imported replication

manager HP Command View EVA (Storage Agent) password to match the resident HP Command View

EVA's password, or change the password of the resident HP Command View EVA instance to match

the imported password.

Using SSSU to capture your conﬁguration

The Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) Capture Conﬁguration command copies array and DR group

conﬁguration to the console or a user-speciﬁed ﬁle. You can use this output to re-create the conﬁguration

after a hardware failure (see Return operations to new hardware). For more information about command

syntax and usage, see HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utilit y reference .

Capture Configuration executes one or more of the following scripts. You can app end a

user-deﬁned name to the output ﬁle in the form UserName_StepX.tx t, where StepX is one of these ﬁve

conﬁguration text ﬁles:

• Step1A–Captures the data needed to re-create the array itself, disk groups, hosts, virtual disks that

are not used for data replication (either sourc e or destination), and LUNS for the d isks crea ted.

• Step1B–Captures the data needed to re-create all source virtual disks used in DR groups on this

array.Thedatacapturedbythisstepisnotcurrentlyusedinanyrecoveryprocedure.

• Step1C–Captu res the data needed to present all source virtual d isks (creates LUNs) used for

DR groups to their hosts. The data captured by this step is not currently used in a ny recover y

procedure.

• Step2–Captures the data needed to re-create all replication–speciﬁcconﬁguration information

and DR-speciﬁc information for which the array is the source. This consists of source DR groups

and their members only.

• Step3–Captures the data needed to create an SSSU script that will again present all remote

virtual disks to their hosts.

Example:

You have a management server with an IP address of 111.222.333.444. You want to back up your

conﬁguration for an array named HSV01 with the SSSU. Follow these steps:

1. Run the SSSU executable (SSSU.exe) to get a command prompt.

2. At the command prompt, log onto the management server using your user name and password. For

example:

select manager 111.222.333.444 username=user1 password=admin

3. Select the array whose con ﬁguration you want to save. Use the following command with your array

name (HSV01 is the array name used in this example):

select system HSV01

The command line prompt changes to reﬂect your array is selected.

4. At the SSSU com mand prompt, enter the Capture Configuration command along with a path

and ﬁle name where you want the conﬁguration text ﬁlestoreside.Forexample,tocopytheseﬁles

to a folder called storage_systems\hsv01, use the command:

capture configuration c:\storage_systems\hsv01.txt

Messages on the screen conﬁrm that each step was successfully saved.
