Saving NVRAM to Disks
You can choose to backup your controller-dependent configuration
information to disk. We strongly recommend using this function to
save configuration information whenever a configuration change is
made. The information will be distributed to every member drive of
the array. If using the Text-based RAIDMAN manager, you can save
configuration data to a specific file.
First, a RAID configuration unit must exist for the controller to write
NVRAM content onto it.
From the main menu, choose “System
Functions.” Use arrow keys to scroll
down and select “Controller
Maintenance,” “Save NVRAM to Disks,”
then press ENT. The message will turn
into “Save NVRAM to Disks?,” press ENT
for two seconds to confirm.
A prompt will inform you that NVRAM
information has been successfully saved.
