Installation Tasks
• Preferredpath-Use the Preferred Path option from the Configure
menu (Element Manager application) to specify and configure
one or more ISL data paths between multiple fabric elements. At
each fabric element,a preferredpath consists ofa source port,exit
port, and destination Domain_ID.
• Port fencing - Use the Port Fencing option from the Configure
menu (SAN management application) to minimize ISLs that
bounce (repeatedly attempt to establish a connection), causing
disruptive fabric rebuilds. Fencing defines a bounce threshold
that when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port.
To configure optional features, refer to the SANavigator Software

Task 20: Back Up Configuration Data
For the Sanavigator application, critical configuration data is stored
on the management server hard drive in the following directories:
• C:\Program Files\SANavigator 4.2\CallHome
• C:\Program Files\SANavigator 4.2\Client
• C:\Program Files\SANavigator 4.2\Server.
For the EFCM application, critical configuration data is stored on the
management server hard drive in the following directories:
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.7\CallHome
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.7\Client
• C:\Program Files\EFCM 8.7\Server.
The server is configured to automatically mirror the contents of these
directories to the CD-RW drive anytime directory contents change or
the server is rebooted. The directories contain all SAN management
configuration data, log files, firmware versions, call-home and other
configuration data; and are used to restore the server operating
environment in case of hard drive failure.
The server does not back upWindows operating system data, such as
user names, passwords, date and time, and network information.
