Backup config and user state
I am looking to backup unity array config & user state.
For unity array config, I suspect I am looking at the service command svc_arrayconfig
For the user state, ie
- pools defined
- fs defined
- nas servers defined
- cifs shares defined
- nfs exports defined
- etc
I am unsure of recommended tool - can I get a recommendation ?

both ways work to store some config info
from the telemetry file your local Dell support or presales contact can also generate an Excel
neither way though is support for restoring a config

then it sounds like I will be scripting a series of REST API calls to record user state. Similar to the service command, cannot 'p(redacted as its a 'bad word ? pe' output to recreate user state, but its will be a snapshot of user state.

ok the answer seems to be
svc_arrayconfig -s
generates both emc config info and because we use -s, user data.
This is a series of csv files in a gzipped tar bundle. This cannot be immediatly piped into a recreate state tool, but does provide a state snapshot.
