Note
If active equals saved is enabled, the Cisco SAN-OS software ensures that you do not have to perform
the copy running startup command for the FICON configuration as well. If your switch or fabric
consists of multiple FICON -enabled VSANs, and one of these VSANs have active equals saved
enabled, changes made to the non-FICON configuration results in all configurations being saved to the
startup configuration.
