Syntax
create
Defaults
The new boot profile has the same settings as the currently active boot profile by
default.
Access
Boot prompt.
History
Introduced in MSS Version 1.0.
Usage
An MX can have up to four boot profiles. The boot profiles are stored in slots, numbered
0 through 3. When you create a new profile, the system uses the next available slot for the profile.
If all four slots already contain profiles and you try to create a fifth profile, the MX displays a
message advising you to change one of the existing profiles instead.
To make a new boot profile the currently active boot profile, use the next command. To change
boot parameter settings, use the change command.
