HP 6125XLG Command Reference Manual page 164

Parameters
file-url: Saves the running configuration to the specified file, without specifying the file as a next-startup
configuration file. The file name must use the extension .cfg and can include path information. If the
keyword all or a member ID is specified, the file path cannot include a member ID. If the file path includes
a folder name, the folder must already exist.
all: Saves the running configuration to all member devices. If you do not specify this keyword or the slot
slot-number option, the command saves the running configuration only to the master.
slot slot-number: Saves the running configuration to a subordinate device. The slot-number argument
represents the IRF member ID of the device. If you do not specify this option or the all keyword, the
command saves the running configuration only to the master.
safely: Saves the configuration file in safe mode. If this keyword is not specified, the device saves the
configuration file in fast mode. Safe mode is slower than fast mode, but more secure.
backup: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the backup
next-startup configuration file. If you do not specify this keyword or the main keyword, the command
specifies the saved file as the main next-startup configuration file.
main: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the main
next-startup configuration file. If you do not specify this keyword or the backup keyword, the command
specifies the saved file as the main next-startup configuration file.
force: Saves the running configuration without prompting for confirmation. Without this keyword, the
system asks 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 target file name during the 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.
In safe mode, the system saves configuration in a temporary file and starts overwriting the target
next-startup configuration file after the save operation is complete. If a reboot, power failure, or out of
memory event occurs during the save operation, the next-startup configuration file is retained.
In fast mode, the device directly overwrites the target next-startup configuration file. If a reboot, power
failure, or out of memory event occurs during this process, the next-startup configuration file is lost.
HP recommends that you specify the safely keyword for the command.
Examples
# Save the running configuration to the configuration file backup.cfg, without specifying the file as the
next-startup configuration file.
<Sysname> save backup.cfg
The current configuration will be saved to flash:/backup.cfg. Continue? [Y/N]:y
