dstfile=system
Specifies the name of the new copy of the master
configuration file. The destination must have the same
chassis and slot location as the source. The name can be
up to 15 alphanumeric characters, not including the
extension. Spaces are allowed, but a name with spaces
must be enclosed in double quotes. The filename must be
unique from all other files in the file system of the module
and it must include the “.CFG” extension. The filename
cannot start with the letters “mm” or “bm” because these
are restricted by the management software.
Privilege Levels
Administrator and read-write.
Description
This command is used to create a copy of a master configuration file in the
file system of the management module. You might create a copy of a file
to maintain a history of the settings of the modules in the chassis or to
create a backup copy. For background information on the master
configuration files, refer to Chapter 8, “Configuration File Commands” on
page 145.
Review the following before copying a master configuration file:
ˆ This command is primarily intended for creating copies of master
configuration files on management modules. This command can also
be used to create copies of auxiliary configuration files, but that should
never be necessary.
ˆ The copy of the file must be stored in the file system of the same
module with the original file. To copy files between modules, refer to
“FILE UPLOAD” on page 194.
ˆ The filename of the source file is case sensitive. To verify the spelling
and case of a file, use the FILE SHOW command. For instructions,
refer to “FILE SHOW” on page 191.
ˆ You do not have to perform the CONFIG SAVE command after
copying a file.
Examples
This command creates a copy of the master configuration file
“master2a.cfg” on a management module in a chassis with the ID number
0. The copy is called “master2a_backup.cfg:”
file copy srcfile=system://0/m/master2a.cfg
dstfile=system://0/m/master2a_backup.cfg
