BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - AVAIL CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - ACTIVE CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - NONE CONFIG 3 - AVAIL
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
CONFIG 1 has become AVAIL and CONFIG 2 has become ACTIVE.
If the Configuration Program were now used to send down a new configuration to the IBM 2212 and the
file were not marked to be loaded at any specified time, the view of the software in the IBM 2212 would
look like this:
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - AVAIL CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - ACTIVE CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - AVAIL CONFIG 3 - AVAIL
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
After this action, CONFIG 3 is AVAIL. The new configuration file has been loaded in this location.
Note: You should exercise caution here because any on-board configuration changes could result in
overwriting the CONFIG 3 file. Because the configuration file in CONFIG 3 was sent down without
any time specified for resetting the server, it is currently not in use. It can be overwritten either
when another file is sent from the Configuration Program or when a file is saved using the write
command from the command line interface. You can use the copy command to move it to another
location to protect it (see “Copying a File Using the Copy Command” on page E-17) or use the
lock command to keep the configuration file from being overwritten.
Viewing the Files
Question How do I display the state of the operational software image and configuration files stored on
the IBM 2212?
Answer To use the change management tool in the command line interface to view the operational
software image and the configuration files, follow these steps:
1. From the OPCON prompt (*), type talk 6 and press Enter to reach the Config
>
prompt. If
the Config
>
prompt does not appear, press Enter again.
2. Type boot and press Enter. You will see the prompt
Boot config
>
.
3. Type list and press Enter. You will see a list similar to this one:
Boot config
>
list
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - ACTIVE CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - AVAIL CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - NONE CONFIG 3 - NONE
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
Each bank represents one image of the operational code. The images stored in BANK A and
BANK B are stored on the hard drive or compact flash. The Configs represent the configuration
files that are stored with each bank.
IMAGE refers to the status of the operational software and
CONFIG refers to the status of the configuration files.
