Determine the Current SYSnn
3. Save the current configuration by using a unique file name. At the SCF prompt,
enter:
-> SAVE CONFIGURATION xx.yy
where xx.yy variable is a number from 0.0 through 99.99.
This example saves the current system configuration to the file
$SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF1101:
-> SAVE CONFIGURATION 11.1
The configuration file $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF1101 has been created.
If you specify a configuration file that already exists, SCF asks you if you want to
replace it. If you specify that you do not want to replace the existing file, SCF does not
overwrite the file. You must type another SAVE command to save the current
configuration file.
Determine the Current SYSnn
There are several ways to record the current SYSnn subvolume on your system.
You must use the current SYSnn subvolume if you need to fall back to your current
RVU. You must use a different SYSnn subvolume to create a new software revision.
1. At a TACL prompt, enter:
$SYSTEM SUPER 6> sysinfo
SYSINFO - T9268D37 - (27 Nov 97) SYSTEM \ELI Date 27 Mar 2000,
22:00:18
COPYRIGHT TANDEM COMPUTERS INCORPORATED 1985, 1987-1997
System name \ELI
EXPAND node number 033
Current SYSnn SYS01
System number 000000
Software release ID G06.06
2. Issue a TACL FILEINFO command on $system.*.osimage to list the SYSnn
subvolumes on your system and determine which one is open:
$SYSTEM.SYS00
