Enabling Automatic Saving Of The Running Configuration - HP 5800 Series Configuration Manual

To configure parameters for saving the running configuration:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the path and
filename prefix for saving
configuration files.
3. Set the maximum number of
configuration files that can be
saved.
Only execute saving and rollback operations on the master. To make the configuration rollback take effect on
the new master after an active/standby switchover, execute archive configuration location to specify the path
and filename prefix of the saved configuration file on both the master and subordinate switches. Before the
execution of this command, ensure that the specified path is available on both the master and the
subordinate switches, and that the path does not include any member ID.
If undo archive configuration location is executed, the running configuration cannot be saved either
manually or automatically, and the configuration is restored to the default by executing archive configuration
interval and archive configuration max, meanwhile, the saved configuration files are cleared.
The value of the file-number argument is determined by memory space. Set a comparatively small value for
the file-number argument if the available memory space is small.

Enabling automatic saving of the running configuration

Configure the system to save the running configuration at a specified interval, and use display archive
configuration to view the filenames and save time of the saved configuration files. This enables you to easily
roll back the current configuration to a previous configuration state.
Configure an automatic save interval based on the storage media's performance and the frequency of
configuration modification using the following guidelines:
If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, manually save the running configuration as
needed
To enable automatic saving of the running configuration:
