HP VMA-series Memory Arrays - Manual (Page 133)

AM456-9026A HP VMA SAN Gateway User’s Guide 133
Note that an asterisk (*) appears before the command prompt to remind you that changes have been
made to the HP VMA SAN Gateway, which have not yet been saved.
In this example, the write memory command is used to save changes to the configuration:
Switching Configuration Files
To switch to another configuration file, save the current configuration to a specified file name using
the configuration write to > command.
WARNING! If the system IP address and connectivity information has changed from previous configurations,
switching to different configuration file will disconnect users.
In the following example, the configuration write to cf1 command i s used to save the
configuration to a file named cf1 and to make that file the active configuration file:
You can switch configuration files from the HP VMA Web Interface, as described in Managing
Configuration Files on page 132.
Saving Without Switching Configuration Files
To save the current configuration to a different file, without making the new file the active
configuration file, use the no-switch option of the configuration write to command.
The no-switch option can be used to save an interim configuration which you will finish later.
Saving with the no-switch option does not change a configuration’s unsaved status (indicated by
an asterisk in the CLI), because recent changes are still not stored in the active configuration file.
