na Commands
read Command
The read command reads a script file that contains na commands. The na program executes these
commands as if they were entered at a terminal in interactive mode. Use read either to restore the
Model 5390 configuration that has been lost, or to copy parameter settings from one Model 5390
server to another. The syntax is:
read filename
You can create script files using a text editor or the write command.
If you plan to use LAT or a feature enabled through the option_key parameter, set the lat_key and
option_key parameters manually (using na or admin) and reboot the Model 5390 server before
issuing the read command. The lat_key and option_key parameters are not enabled until you reboot,
and any LAT- or option_key-related parameters in the script file are not recognized until lat_key
or option_key is enabled. Also, make sure the script file does not contain a different option_key
setting; if it does, delete the setting before issuing a read.
If a script file was written from the Model 5390 server that had option_key enabled, and you are
reading the file to the Model 5390 server on which option_key has not been enabled, delete the
option_key and all related parameters from the script file before issuing a read.
NOTE: The read command requires superuser privileges.
NOTE:
The read command loads parameters even if the subsystem is
disabled.
