Configures the card to use the runtime RPM software image stored on the PXM hard disk.
Configures the card to store the configuration file on the PXM hard disk.
If an active RPM card fails and the configuration is not stored on the disk, the standby RPM card
cannot become active.
The switch saveallcnf command cannot store configuration information that is not on the PXM hard
disk.
If there is a configuration file only on the PXM hard disk, the RPM card uses the configuration
stored on the hard disk.
If there is no configuration file on the hard disk, then the NVRAM version is used.
If configuration files exist on both the hard drive and bootflash, the switch examines a timestamp
tag in each file. If the timestamp tag is the same in both files, the RPM card uses the configuration
file stored in bootflash. If the timestamp tag is different, the RPM card uses the configuration file
stored on the hard drive.
