To create a system load backup that contains a new configuration, follow
the sample commands as illustrated:

Make your system configuration changes through the utility
configurators. For information, refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042). Return to the
first-level SYSGEN menu and keep the changes to the new configuration
group:
or
Keeping to group NEWFIG
Purge old configuration (yes/no)?Y
sysgen>
|
At this point, your configuration changes have been saved to disk under
the configuration group NEWFIG. If you specify NEWFIG as the
base group and you issue the TAPE command, NEWFIG is written to
the backup as CONFIG.SYS, overwriting the default configuration
files.
Recall the new configuration and generate a system load backup:
sysgen>BA NEWFIG
sysgen>TA
|
If you are completely confident that you have a working configuration,
exit SYSGEN. Otherwise, recall the original CONFIG.SYS and store it
under a different group name:
or
sysgen>BA CONFIG
sysgen>KEEP OLDFIG
sysgen>
sysgen>EXIT
END OF SUBSYSTEM

If the system does not boot under the new CONFIG group, you can use
the START GROUP=OLDFIG option under the initial system loader (ISL)
to boot the system under the original CONFIG group. For more
information on the ISL START command and options, refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042).
