Changing an Existing Configuration File
Changing an Existing Configuration File
To associate a new configuration file when one already exists, perform the following
tasks:
Task 1
Create a configuration file with the values you want QIO to have. (For more information
on the configuration file, see Understanding the Configuration File on page 2-7.)
You can give the new configuration file any name and put it in any location you want.
However, it is best to locate the file in a place that will not change from release to
release and give the file a meaningful name, such as $system.system.qioconf.
Task 2
Navigate to the volume in which QIO is running:
-> VOLUME $system.system
Task 3
Rename the current configuration file:
-> RENAME qioconf, qioconfx
where qioconf is the name of the current configuration file.
Task 4
Rename the new configuration file:
-> RENAME qioconfo, qioconf
where qioconfo is the name of the new configuration file.
Task 5
Reload the processor that you want to reconfigure and run the new QIO configuration
file.
Task 6
Verify your configuration changes.
Note. For H06.22/J06.11 and all subsequent RVUs, the maximum QIO segment size in
system space for Integrity NonStop NS-series is increased to 512 MB, while the default size
remains 256 MB.
