## Copying the configuration from drives

Use this action to copy the configuration from all physical hard disk drives into a ServeRAID controller. This action is useful when replacing a controller and you want to reestablish the original configuration on the new controller.

If you are replacing a controller in a cluster environment, you must first configure the cluster parameters by selecting Configure for clustering. The cluster parameters are the following:

- The controller name
- The partner's controller name
- The SCSI initiator IDs

After you have configured these parameters, you can use this action to copy the configuration from only the non-shared drives into the new controller.

1. Click a controller from the Main Tree.
2. Click Actions --> Copy configuration from drives.
3. If clustering is enabled, click one of the following from the menu:

- Non-shared 206
- Non-shared 207

4. Click Yes.
