Save the Current Configuration File (CONFxxyy)
Save the Current Configuration File
(CONFxxyy)
A saved system configuration file contains a copy of the current configuration database
CONFIG file, saved for future use. For fallback purposes, save a copy of the current
CONFIG file by using a unique file name. Do not omit this step.
You can use the saved configuration file to return to an earlier, stable configuration. If
you need to fall back to the previous RVU, you must load the system by using a saved
configuration file and the SYSnn containing the previous operating system.
To save the current system configuration database CONFIG file, use the SCF SAVE
command:
1. At a TACL prompt, start SCF:
12> SCF
2. List the saved configuration files. At the SCF prompt, enter:
-> FUP INFO $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF*
3. Save the current configuration by using a unique file name. At the prompt, enter:
-> SAVE CONFIGURATION xx.yy
where xx.yy 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.
