# Copying the configuration from drives

Use this action to copy the configuration from all physical 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.

Note: (Cluster environment only.) Use this action to merge non-shared logical drives.

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

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

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

1. In the tree, click (controller).
2. Right-click Copy configuration from drives.
3. If clustering is not enabled, go to step 4. Otherwise, right-click one of the following from the menu:

- Non-shared 206
- Non-shared 207

4. A confirmation window opens; click Yes.
   Note: For keyboard accessibility, press Ctrl + Tab to navigate in this window.
