Managing Operational Code and Configuration Files
To help you manage operational software upgrades and configurations, the IBM 2212 has a software
change management feature. This utility enables you to determine which operational software file and
configuration file are active while the IBM 2212 is running. It also has a service recovery interface that
enables you to perform many of the same tasks.
Reconfiguring
You might find it difficult to detect problems caused by configuration errors. A configuration error can
initially appear to be a hardware problem because the 2212 will not start or data will not flow through a
port. In addition, problems with configuration may not result in an error initially; an error may occur only
when specific conditions are encountered or when heavy network traffic occurs.
If you cannot resolve a problem after making a few changes to your configuration or after restoring the
active configuration file, it is recommended that you generate a new configuration. Too many changes to a
configuration often compound the problem, whereas you can usually generate and test a new
configuration within a few hours.
Backing Up the Active Configuration
Question How do I use the OPCON command-line interface to backup the active configuration?
Answer You can backup the active configuration file by using the command-line interface to copy a
configuration file to an available bank, and then lock the bank to protect the file. To do so,
issue the following commands:
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. At the Config> prompt:
a. Type boot and press Enter.
b. Type copy configuration and press Enter. You will be prompted for the following
information as shown in the example.
¹
Source bank (A or B)
¹
Source configuration file (1, 2, 3, or 4). Up to four configuration files can be
associated with each bank.
