HP FlexFabric 12900 series Command Reference Manual page 157

force: Saves the running configuration without prompting for confirmation. Without this keyword, the
system prompts you to confirm the operation. If you do not confirm the operation within 30 seconds, the
system automatically aborts the operation. If you enter Y within the time limit, you can continue the save
process and change the next-startup configuration file during this process.
Usage guidelines
If the file specified for the command does not exist, the system creates the file before saving the
configuration. If the file already exists, the system prompts you to confirm whether to overwrite the file. If
you choose to not overwrite the file, the system cancels the save operation.
If you do not specify the file-url option for the command, the command saves the running configuration
to an .mdb binary file as well as a .cfg text file. The two files use the same file name. An .mdb file takes
less time to load than a .cfg file.
If you specify the file-url option for the command, the command only saves the running configuration to
the specified .cfg file.
