Save storage array DBM validator information file

This command saves the database management (DBM) validation information for a storage array in an XML file. Technical support can use this XML file to generate a validator string (a security code). The validator string must be included in the load storageArray dbmDatabase command when restoring a storage array back to a pre-existing configuration.

Syntax

save storageArray dbmValidatorInfo file="filename" dbmDatabase="filename"

Parameters

Parameter Description
file

The file path and the file name of the DBM validator required for technical support. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

file="C:\Array Backups \DBMvalidator.xml"

This command does not automatically append a file extension to the saved file. You must specify the .xml file extension when you enter the file name.

dbmDatabase

The file path and the file name of the DBM database from which you want to generatae the XML information file. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

dbmDatabase="C:\Array Backups \DBMbackup_03302010.dbm"

This command does not automatically append a file extension to the saved file. You must specify the .dbm file extension when you enter the file name.

Notes

If you are generating the XML information file to obtain a validator string, you must run this command while you are connected to the controller where you intend to restore the database.The following example show the format of the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<DbmImageMetadata> 
<Controllers> 
<A>1IT0nnnnnnnnnABCD</A> 
<B>1T0nnnnnnnnnABCD</B> 
</Controllers> 
<Header> 
<ImageVersion>1</ImageVersion> 
<TimeStamp>1269388283</TimeStamp> 
</Header> 
<Trailer>
