Youmaywanttopreserveotherfilesthatarenotpreservedautomatically.Forexample,ifyou
haveanATCA‐2210SCMrunningaDHCPserver,youmaywanttopreserveitsDHCP
configurationfiles.
Topre serveadditionalconfiguration files,addthemtothe/etc/rsys‐user‐file‐list.cfg
file.Ifthisfileisnotavailableonyoursystem,youmayneedtocreateit.
Whenaddingtheconfigurationfilenamestothersys‐user‐file‐list.cfgfile,makesure
eachfilenameislistedonaseparat eline,andthatthefileentryincludesthepathlocation.
Forex ample,thesecommandsaddthexxx.cfgandyyy.cfgfilestothecustompreservationlist:
echo“/etc/xxx.cfg”>/etc/rsys‐user‐file‐list.cfg
echo“/etc/yyy.cfg”>>/etc/rsys‐user‐file‐list.cfg
