Saving Changes - IBM BladeCenter Installation And User Manual

After establishing a user account with Root-level privileges, press Esc. Then,
highlight Save Changes and press Enter (see "Saving changes"). The switch will
save any changes to its NVRAM and restart. Log on with the new user name and
password as described in "Logging onto the switch module" on page 82. You are
now ready to continue configuring the switch.

Saving changes

The switch module has two levels of memory: normal random-access memory
(RAM) and NVRAM. To make configuration changes effective, highlight APPLY and
press Enter. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the
switching software in RAM and will immediately take effect.
However, some settings require you to restart the switch before they will take effect.
Restarting the switch erases all settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings
from the NVRAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NVRAM
before restarting the switch.
To keep any configuration changes permanently, highlight Save Changes in the
main menu and press Enter.
To verify that your new settings have been saved to NVRAM, the following window
opens.
