4.2.4 Save (/s)
syscfg /s [filename.SCF] {/f | /b | /f /b}
Filename
File name to be used for the syscfg
configuration file (.SCF) in the current
working directory. If no filename is
specified, the default file name syscfg.scf is
used. The filename suffix must be .SCF, or,
if omitted, syscfg will add the .SCF suffix.
The filename should consist of only
alphanumeric characters.
/f
Save the firmware settings. (See Appendix
A for a list of the settings that are saved.)
/b
Save the BIOS settings. (See Appendix A for
a list of the settings that are saved.)
Saves the BIOS and firmware settings to a SCF file.
Example:
syscfg /s /f /b
syscfg /s saved.scf /f
From S55XX generation of platforms the Save process added additional functionality of
saving the following BIOS and FW settings also into an editable (.INI) file format. This is
typically a text file and will be dynamically generated depending on the user choice from the
command line.
Notes:
• Save/Restore process following the INI file is not a means for exact cloning between
the servers; it is a means to clone a subset of BIOS/FW configurable settings and a
duplicating those settings in the deployed servers.
• Save and restore of Host IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway IP and Backup Gateway
IP is not supported on S55XX and S3420GP platform series.
