3.3.4 Creating a Separate Configuration File
To enable the Flash card boot function, make the appropriate changes to
redirect the loading of specific files from the AS/400 IFS to the local Flash
memory card.
The
flash.nsm file first reads the standard configuration files from the AS/400
server (
standard.nsm ) and then overrides the values as necessary. The
flash.nsm file is stored in the
/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/configs
directory on the AS/400 server and not on the Flash card. Therefore, any
changes that are required must made at a central location and no changes to
the Flash card are required.
You can create the
flash.nsm file can be created using any simple text editor
such as Windows Notepad and then copied (using Windows Explorer or using
FTP) into the directory
/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/configs in the IFS on
the AS/400 system.
The file may also be edited using the stream file editor (EDTF) on the AS/400.
The following is a sample
flash.nsm file for this scenario.
We recommended that you create a new file called
flash.nsm , rather than
edit the supplied system configuration files. The supplied system
configuration files can change or be overwritten with each new release of the
IBM Network Station Manager program.
