[volumeConfigAndSettings=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[hostTopology=(TRUE | FALSE)]
[lunMappings=(TRUE | FALSE)])

Parameters

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`file`	The file path and the file name to which you want to save the configuration settings. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example: `file="C:\Program Files\CLI\logs\saconf.cfg"` The default name of the file that contains the configuration settings is `storage-array-configuration.cfg`. This command does not automatically append a file extension to the saved file. You must specify a file extension when entering the file name.
`allConfig`	The setting to save all of the configuration values to the file. (If you choose this parameter, all of the configuration parameters are set to `TRUE` .)
`globalSettings`	The setting to save the global settings to the file. To save the global settings, set this parameter to `TRUE`. To prevent saving the global settings, set this parameter to `FALSE`. The default value is `TRUE`.
`volumeConfigAndSettings`	The setting to save the volume configuration settings and all of the global settings to the file. To save the volume configuration settings and global settings, set this parameter to `TRUE`. To prevent saving the volume configuration settings and global settings, set this parameter to `FALSE`. The default value is `TRUE`.
`hostTopology`	The setting to save the host topology to the file. To save the host topology, set this parameter to `TRUE`. To prevent saving the host topology, set this parameter to `FALSE`. The default value is `FALSE`.
`lunMappings`	The setting to save the LUN or NSID mapping to the file. To save the LUN or NSID mapping, set this parameter to `TRUE`. To prevent saving the LUN or NSID mapping, set this parameter to `FALSE`. The default value is `FALSE`.

file

The file path and the file name to which you want to save the configuration settings. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

file="C:\Program Files\CLI\logs\saconf.cfg"

The default name of the file that contains the configuration settings is storage-array-configuration.cfg. This command does not automatically append a file extension to the saved file. You must specify a file extension when entering the file name.

allConfig

The setting to save all of the configuration values to the file. (If you choose this parameter, all of the configuration parameters are set to TRUE .)

globalSettings

The setting to save the global settings to the file. To save the global settings, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent saving the global settings, set this parameter to FALSE. The default value is TRUE.

volumeConfigAndSettings

The setting to save the volume configuration settings and all of the global settings to the file. To save the volume configuration settings and global settings, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent saving the volume configuration settings and global settings, set this parameter to FALSE. The default value is TRUE.

hostTopology

The setting to save the host topology to the file. To save the host topology, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent saving the host topology, set this parameter to FALSE. The default value is FALSE.

lunMappings

The setting to save the LUN or NSID mapping to the file. To save the LUN or NSID mapping, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent saving the LUN or NSID mapping, set this parameter to FALSE. The default value is FALSE.

Notes

When you use this command, you can specify any combination of the parameters for the global setting, the volume configuration setting, the host topology, or the LUN mapping. If you want to enter all settings, use the allConfig parameter. You must either use the allConfig parameter, or one or more of the other four parameters.
