Don't install TSM client on the control station

Just from time to time copy our nasdb_backup to another location

The array performs a regular backup of the array which EMC support can use to restore as much of the configuration as needed.  The backup files are stored in the directory:

     /nas/var/backup

I recommend periodically copying that directory to another location also.

Hi Cristopher

Is it possible to restore VNX unified configuration  with  all Raid Group, Pools, Luns, file systems, Exports, initiators, Storage groups, etc ?

Are there any  tool for  backing up VNX block configuration ?

Thank you

Hi dzmitryj,

You can get that type of info using USM.

After you login go to "View System Configuration" then "Generate".  This will connect to your array and generate a html report with detailed information in it.

You could also schedule this using naviseccli with the following syntax;

naviseccli -h arrayname arrayconfig -capture -output filename.xml

Of course change arrayname to your array hostname and filename.xml to name of your choice.

Schedule as per your preference. You can then open the saved reports in USM

Hope this helps.

Thank you
