Saving the Configuration and Exiting eisa_config
You can save the current configuration without exiting eisa_config by
using the save system.sci command.
If the current configuration is not conflict-free, eisa_config notifies you
and does not save the configuration.
By default, save records the new configuration in non-volatile memory
(NVM). If you use system.sci, save does not record the new
configuration in NVM, but instead, records it in the system.sci file.
This file can be used to configure subsequent workstations. See “Creating
Identical E/ISA Configurations on Other Workstations” later in this
chapter.
When you quit eisa_config, it creates the /etc/eisa/config.log file,
which contains information on all currently configured boards and their
attributes.
Your next task will be to bring down the system, set the physical
switches and jumpers to match the new eisa_config specifications, and
reboot.
