HP VMA SAN Gateway for VMA-series Memory Arrays Release Notes - May 2012 - Software OE version G5.1.0

Next step is to copy the saved gateway configuration file to the production or maintenance server

using the configuration upload command so that it can be included in regularly scheduled data

backups:

# configuration upload <file-name> scp://<user-login>[:<password>]@<server IP>/<target-

directory>[/<file-name>]

When required to recover the gateway configuration file, you can retrieve the restored configuration

file from the production or maintenance server by issuing the configuration fetch command:

# configuration fetch scp://<user-login>[:<password>]@<server-IP>/<source-

directory>/<source-file-name> [<gateway-file-name>]

Data backup

As with any data storage device, array or system, data stored should always be protected with a

regular data backup schedule that is appropriate for the criticalness of the data stored. You can use

the HP Data Protector software or your chosen backup software utility to back up your data on the

VMA as done with other standard rotational disk-based storage systems.
