6-6 Saving a Storage Configuration to Disk

You can save an existing controller configuration to a file so you can apply it to another controller. To save a configuration file, follow these steps:

1.Select a controller icon in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.

2.On the menu bar, select Operations -> Advanced Operations -> Configuration -> Save Configuration.

The Save dialog box appears.

3.In the Save dialog box, type a name for the configuration file, or accept the default name (hostname.cfg).

4.Click Save to save the configuration file.

6-7 Clearing a Storage Configuration from a Controller

You can use the Add New Configuration option to add a new storage configuration while keeping the existing configuration. Alternatively, you can clear the existing storage configuration from a controller and then create a totally new configuration or load a previously saved configurationfile.

Caution: Before you clear a configuration, be sure to save any data that you want to keep. Clearing a configuration deletes all data from the disks of the existing configuration. Be sure that the operating system is not installed on this configuration.

To clear a configuration from a controller, follow these steps:

1.Select a controller icon in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.

2.On the menu bar, select Operations -> Advanced Operations -> Configuration -> Clear Configuration. A Warning message appears.

3.Click Yes to clear the configuration or No to cancel the operation.
