Saving and Restoring Configuration Files
Updating the RSM for Storage software with a newer version will not affect the customer's configuration.
Customers are incouraged to backup their configuration files to diskette or another system.
Saving the configuration
Configuration files reside in the directory "/etc/rsm". A command line
program: "rsm-cfg-save" will zip all of the configuration files and
store them as "/packages/rsm-config-files.zip". If the system has a
diskette drive, you can have the program copy the file to the diskette.
To save the configuration to a diskette you will neet to login to the RSM for Storage system
as the root user.
Using FTP to transfer the configuation to another system
The internal firewall of the RSM for Storage application prevents FTP
access to other systems in your network. Disable the RSM
for Storage firewall while using FTP.
NOTE: If an event occurs while the firewall disabled, it
will be processed and sent to IBM as an alert. However, if the
RSM for Storage is configured to automaticlly enable remote access
when an alert occurs, remote access will not be enabled while the firewall
is disabled.
Restoring a saved configuration
The command line program "rsm-cfg-restore" can restore a previously
saved configuration from a diskette (if the system has a diskette
drive), or from the file "/packages/rsm-config-files.zip".
