The system configuration files used on systems running G-series RVUs are:
For instructions on how to select a system configuration file during system load, refer
to the OSM Migration Guide or TSM Configuration Guide.
On the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume:
File Type File Name Description
Base
CONFIG
CONFBASE Contains the minimal configuration to load the system. You
use this file when you want to rebuild the system
configuration from the absolute minimum configuration.
On the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF subvolume:
File Type File Name Description
Input to
initial
CONFIG
SCF0000 Is used to create the CONF0000 file, which HP uses to
configure and test a standard system before shipment.
Current
CONFIG
CONFIG Contains the current system configuration.
Saved
CONFIG
CONFxxyy Contains a copy of a CONFIG file, saved for future use. You
can use one of these files to return to an earlier, stable
configuration. The file-naming convention is to let xx indicate
a major configuration change and yy indicate a minor
change.
Autosaved
CONFIG
CONFSAVE Contains a saved version of the current CONFIG file that the
operating system automatically creates when you load the
system from a saved CONFIG file.
If you load the system from CONFBASE or a CONFxxyy file
to abandon a corrupt configuration, HP can analyze the
corrupt configuration file to determine the reason for the
corruption. If the CONFSAVE file is not corrupt, you can use it
to reload the system if you first rename it to CONFxxyy.
