Specifying A Next-Startup Configuration File - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Task
Save the running configuration to
a configuration file in the root
directory of each MPU's flash
memory and specify the file as the
startup configuration file.

Specifying a next-startup configuration file

CAUTION:
In an IRF fabric, use the undo startup saved-configuration command with caution. This command can
cause an IRF split after the IRF fabric or an IRF member reboots.
You can specify a .cfg configuration file as a main or backup next-startup configuration file when using
the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command to save the running configuration.
Alternatively, you can execute the startup saved-configuration cfgfile [ backup | main ] command to
specify a configuration file as the main or backup next-startup configuration file. When performing this
task, follow these guidelines:
In standalone mode, make sure the specified configuration file is valid and saved to the root
•
directories of both the active and standby MPUs' flash memories.
• In IRF mode, make sure the specified configuration file is valid and saved to the root directories of
all MPUs' flash memories in the IRF fabric.
If neither backup nor main is specified, this command sets the configuration file as the main
•
next-startup configuration file.
Even though the main and backup next-startup configuration files can be the same one, specify
•
them as separate files for high availability.
The undo startup saved-configuration command changes the attribute of the main or backup
•
next-startup configuration file to NULL instead of deleting the file.
To specify a next-startup configuration file, perform the following task in user view:
Command
save [ safely ] [ backup |
main ] [ force ] [ mdc-all ]
101
Remarks
If you execute the save [ safely ]
command without specifying any other
keyword, the command saves the
configuration to the main startup
configuration file for the MDC where
you are logged in.
If the force keyword is specified, the
command saves the configuration to the
next-startup configuration file that has
been specified.
If the force keyword is not specified, you
can choose to re-specify a next-startup
configuration file as instructed by the
system.
