3.17 How to Maintain Service Processor Files
SP File Maintenance functions enable you to administrate the Service Processor (SP) backup
and restore data function. The feature is only a partial backup for critical data files. The archive
is compressed and stored either locally or on the connection portal. The function is designed to
facilitate recovery of an SP setting to a workable state if the SP requires a re-image on site, or
replaced as a FRU. Refer to the documentation of the SP Rescue operation in the 3PAR Service
Processor Troubleshooting Guide and 3PAR Service Processor Software Rebuild Instructions for
more details.
