Editing an MSDP storage server configuration file
To use a storage server configuration file for recovery, it must contain only the required information. You must remove any point - in - time status information. (Status information is only in a configuration file that was saved on an active storage server.) You also must add several configuration settings that are not included in a saved configuration file or a template configuration file.
Table: Required lines for a recovery file shows the configuration lines that are required.

To edit the storage server configuration
- If you did not save a storage server configuration file, get a storage server configuration file.
- Use a text editor to enter, change, or remove values.
Remove lines from and add lines to your file until only the required lines (see Table: Required lines for a recovery file) are in the configuration file. Enter or change the values between the second set of quotation marks in each line. A template configuration file has a space character (" ") between the second set of quotation marks.
