Enabling automatic configuration archiving

To avoid decreasing system performance, follow these guidelines when you configure automatic
configuration archiving:
If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
•
as needed.
If a low-speed storage medium (such as a Flash) is used, archive the running configuration manually,
•
or configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the device configuration changes
•
frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
HP recommends not deleting the configuration files archived by the system when the automatic
•
configuration archiving is enabled.
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
To enable automatic configuration archiving:
Step
1. Enter system view.
Command
archive configuration location
directory filename-prefix
filename-prefix
of configuration
archive configuration max file-number
Command
system-view
92
Remarks
In standalone mode, do not
include slot information in the
directory name.
In IRF mode, do not include
member ID or slot information in
the directory name.
By default, no path or file name
prefix is set for configuration
archives, and the system does
not regularly save configuration.
IMPORTANT:
The undo form of this command
disables both manual and
automatic configuration
archiving, restores the default
settings for the archive
configuration interval and
archive configuration max
commands, and deletes all
saved configuration archives.
The default number is 5.
Change the setting depending
on the amount of storage
available on the device.
