You can use a backup copy of a Device Manager - Storage Navigator configuration file to restore the active configuration file if it becomes necessary, for example, to configure a replacement SVP.
CAUTION:
When you restore a configuration file, make sure the backup file has the same SVP firmware version as the target SVP. If you use a backup file with a different version as shown in the following table, special care might be required:
SVP firmware version of the backup file | SVP firmware version on the target SVP |
---|---|
93-02-03-xx/00 or later | 93-02-02-xx/00 or earlier |
88-06-03-xx/00 or later | 88-06-02-xx/00 or earlier |
If the services on the storage system do not work correctly after the restore operation with the combination of firmware versions listed in the table, you must perform either of the following operations after the restore operation is complete:
- When a signed certificate is set: Update the signed certificate for the SSL communication between the SVP and the management client.
- When a signed certificate is not set: Return the certificate for the SSL communication between the SVP and the management client to default.
- The storage systems registered in the SVP you backed up are registered in the new SVP.
- The SVP is configured so that the service does not start automatically when starting the system.
