NOTE
It is strongly recommended that you leave the buffer at the default size (8 MB).
After you issue the
system-max
command with the
config-file-size
parameter included, additional
information is displayed:
PowerConnect(config)# system-max config-file-size 2097152
Reload required. Please write memory and then reload or power cycle.
Failure to reload could cause system instability on failover.
Newly configured system-max will not take effect during hitless-reload.
NOTE
You must issue the
write memory
command
and restart the system
for the new buffer size to take
effect.
Replacing the startup configuration with
the running configuration
After you make configuration changes to the active system, you can save the changes by writing
them to flash memory. When you write configuration changes to flash memory, you replace the
startup configuration with the running configuration.
To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the
write memory
command.
Replacing the startup configuration
with the running configuration
After you make configuration changes to the active system, you can save the changes to flash
memory, which replaces the existing startup configuration with the new running configuration.
To replace the startup configuration with the new running configuration, enter the
write memory
command.
Retaining the current startup configuration
After making configuration changes to the active system, if you have not executed a
write memory
command and you decide you don’t want to save the changes, enter the
reload
command to return
to the current startup configuration.
PowerConnect# reload
If the system detects differences between the running and startup configurations, it prompts you
as follows:
Are you sure? (enter ‘y’ or ‘n’):
Enter
y
, and press the
Enter
key.
