You can make backup copies of the various Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) configuration files by downloading them to a folder that you specify. You can then use the backup configuration files to restore one or more of the files to the existing SVP if necessary or to configure a new SVP.
- You must have the Storage Administrator (Initial Configuration) role to perform this task.
- You must be logged in to the SVP.
- Stop all storage services running on the SVP.
-
Open a command prompt window with administrator permissions.
- Move the current directory to the folder containing the SVP configuration tool (for example, C:\MAPP\wk\Supervisor\MappIniSet), and then execute the following command:
MappBackup.bat absolute-path-of-backup-file Make sure to include the first 8 digits of the SVP firmware version (for example, 93050100) when you specify the file name. If you need to restore a configuration file, you must use a backup file that was created with the same SVP firmware version as the target SVP.
Note:
- The backup file must be in .tgz format. Use a tool that supports tar and gzip to extract the data from the .tgz file.
- A space is required between the .bat file and the path to the backup file.
If you do not specify a folder in which to save the file, the system automatically creates a default file in the following location:
SVP-root\wk\Supervisor\MappIniset\LogsyyyyMMddHHmmss.tgz
where yyyyMMddHHmmss is the year, month, date, and time that the file was created.
- When the backup confirmation message is displayed, enter y to continue.
- When the completion message is displayed, click any key to continue.
-
Close the command prompt window.
- Save the backup file to another computer or to an external memory device such as a USB flash drive.
