The no-switch option can be used to save an interim configuration which you
will finish later. Saving with the no-switch option does not change a
configuration’s unsaved status (indicated by an asterisk in the CLI), because recent
changes are still not stored in the active configuration file.
Saving the Configuration File to a Remote Server
You can create a copy of the active Gateway configuration file and store it on a
remote server for recovery purposes. The system backs up the active configuration
file automatically; however, storing a copy of the file on a remote server ensures
that you can restore the system configuration to its current settings if needed.
The following procedure should be performed on all HP VMA SAN Gateway
nodes in the cluster (Master and Standby).
1. First, show the configuration files associated with the HP VMA SAN
Gateway using the following command. The configuration file in use is
followed by (active).
* gateway [cluster: master] (config) # show
configuration files
initial (active)
initial.bak
initial.prev
2. Make a copy of the active configuration file using the configuration
copy command. For example:
* gateway [cluster: master] (config) # configuration
copy initial new
Where new is the new name for the copied configuration file.
3. Save the copied configuration file to the remote server using the upload
command. For example:
* gateway [cluster: master] (config) # configuration
upload filename scp://username:password@hostname/path/filename
Where:
• filename is the name of the copied configuration file
