Specifying A Startup Configuration File - HP A7500 Series Configuration Manual

CAUTION:
Do not unplug and plug a card during configuration rollback (that is, the system is executing the
configuration replace file command).
Configuration rollback may fail if one of the following situations is present (if a command cannot be rolled
back, the system skips it and processes the next one):
The actual undo form of a command differs from the complete undo form of the command. When the
configuration is rolled back, the system automatically performs the complete undo form of the command,
which cannot be recognized, and the configuration rollback fails. For example, a command is A [B] C,
and the actual undo form of the command is undo A C. When the system executes the complete undo
form command undo A B C, the command cannot be recognized and rollback of the A B C command
fails.
The configuration cannot be removed, such as hardware-related commands

If the replacement configuration file is not a complete file generated by using the save or archive
configuration command, or the file is copied from a different type of device, the configuration cannot be
rolled back. Ensure that the replacement configuration file is correct and compatible with the current
device.
The configuration file specified with the configuration replace file
