Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

After you have created a new configuration or if you want to copy an existing configuration for use on other storage arrays, you can save the configuration to a file. To save the configuration, use the save storageArray configuration command. Saving the configuration creates a script file that you can run on the command line. The following syntax is the general form of the command:

save storageArray configuration file="filename"
                                    [(allconfig | globalSettings=(TRUE | FALSE)) |
                                    virtualDiskConfigAndSettings=(TRUE | FALSE) |
                                    hostTopology=(TRUE | FALSE) | lunMappings=(TRUE |
                                    FALSE)]
                                 

You can choose to save the entire configuration or specific configuration features. The command for setting this parameter value looks like the following example:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "save storageArray configuration file=
                                    \"c:\folder\storageArrayconfig1.scr\";"
                                 

In this example, the name folder is the folder in which you choose to place the configuration file, and storageArrayconfig1.scr is the name of the file. Choose any folder and any file name. MD Storage Manager uses the file extension .scr when it creates the configuration file.
