Exit the SAS Configuration Utility Screen

As some changes only take effect when you exit the utility, it is important to always exit the utility properly. To exit the utility, follow these steps:

1.To return to the Adapter List from Adapter Properties, press ESC.

2.To exit the utility from the Adapter List, press ESC.

NOTE: A similar exit screen is used when exiting most other screens, and can be used to save settings.

The exit screen shows some options that are grey, indicating that they are not available. You can only select the available options. The exit choices are as follows:

•Are you sure you want to exit?

•Cancel Exit

•Save changes and reboot

•Discard changes and reboot

•Exit the Configuration Utility and Reboot

CFGGEN Utility

The cfggen utility is a command line utility that runs in the Linux, EFI, and Windows Pre-Installation (WinPE) environments. It is a minimally interactive program that you execute from a command line prompt, or a shell script. The results from invoking this utility are communicated through the program status value that is returned when the program exits. Use the cfggen utility to create IM storage configurations on SAS controllers. Some cfggen commands work only with SAS adaptors in the EFI environment.

Starting CFGGEN

Thecfggenutility is located on the HP IPF Offline Diagnostic and Utilities CD. To use cfggen, follow these steps:

1.Insert the CD into the drive.

2.Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.

3.From the EFI Shell prompt, change to the CD drive.

shell> fs0: Enter

fs0: >

4.Change to the directory that containscfggen.efi.

fs0: > cd EFI HP TOOLS NETWORK Enter

fs0: EFI HP TOOLS NETWORK>

From this directory use cfggen.
