How to Restore a DiskSuite Configuration From Disk (DiskSuite Tool)

Use this task to bring back to the Metadevice Editor canvas a configuration previously saved to disk. This does not restore a configuration in the sense of restoring from a backup. Instead, it opens a previously saved configuration of uncommitted changes on the canvas.

  1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Changing DiskSuite Objects") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for the DiskSuite Configuration").

  2. Select Restore From File from the File menu.

    The following dialog box appears.

    Graphic
  3. Choose a file from the Files list in the Restore from File window.

    You can also type a file name in the Selection text field.

  4. When you restore a configuration, a Restore From File dialog box appears, indicating the configuration was restored to the canvas. Click OK.


    Caution - Caution -

    Restoring from a file will undo any uncommitted changes you have made to the current configuration.
