Controlling Volume Usage with the VTA > Loading and Importing VTA Configurations

Loading and Importing VTA Configurations

You can store your VTA configurations in a directory or in a file on the local host:

• Directory—If you store the configurations in a directory, you need to load a configuration before you work on it in VTA Configuration Manager. When you are finished with a configuration, you need to commit the configuration to the directory.

If you loaded the VTA sample data, it is in the following files in the directory:

• /Applications/Bucket
• /Applications/HostCheck
• /Applications/Quota

• Local host—If you store the configurations in files on the local host, you need to import a configuration file before you work on the configuration in VTA Configuration Manager. When you are finished with a configuration, you need to export the configuration to a file.

Loading a Configuration from a Directory

If your VTA configuration is stored in a directory, you need to connect to the directory before you load configurations into VTA Configuration Manager.

To connect to a directory and load a configuration from the directory:

1. In the VTA Configuration Manager navigation pane, select Dir Connection.

The Connecting to the Directory page appears.

2. Fill in the fields as described in Connecting to the Directory Fields, and click Connect.
3. In the VTA Configuration Manager navigation pane, select Load.

The software loads the configuration that you specified in the Configuration Namespace field, and the Edit Configuration page appears with your configuration. From this page, you can view or change your VTA configuration.
