Due to multiple disk failures, the valid configuration database of a class may be lost, resulting in loss of configuration information of objects within the class. If that happens, after recovering the failed disks, objects such as volumes must be re-created. By backing up object configuration information in advance, efforts to restore object configurations can be reduced.
This section describes the procedures for backing up and restoring object configurations of classes.
Note
Classes Unavailable for Object Configuration Backup
Object configurations of the following classes cannot be backed up.
Root class
Shared class that include a switch group
Class that include a proxy object
Shadow class
Note
Systems Available for Object Configuration Restore
To restore object configuration according to backed up object configuration information, the system for restoration must be connecting disks that are equivalent in size to physical disks registered with the backed up class.
