Synchronizing Configuration Data
The configsync command copies the configuration files ( mpm.cnf and mpm.cfg ) in the primary
MPX to the secondary MPX . You can run this command whether or not automatic config
synchronization is on. For example, to copy the configuration file from the primary MPX to
the secondary MPX , you would enter
configsync
at the system prompt. Something similar to the following will be displayed.
Syncing Config file
Config files are currently synchronized.
See Setting Automatic Config Synchronization on page 6-15 for information on setting auto-
matic config synchronization.
Synchronizing Image Files
The imgsync command copies all of the image (executable) files in the primary MPX to the
secondary MPX . When used in conjunction with the configsync command, it ensures that the
two MPXs are running exactly the same versions of software and are in sync (i.e., have the
same configuration). To synchronize all the image files, enter
imgsync
at the system prompt. When you run imgsync you will be asked if you want to synchronize
the cmd file and/or PGA files if they are found to be different.
♦ Note ♦
If any PGA file is being used by a Token Ring module
and you choose to sync the cmd file, then the PGA file
that is in use will be synced even if you do not choose
to synchronize
PGA files.
Something similar to the following prompt will be displayed.
Sync cmd file (y) :
Press y to sync the cmd file or press n to skip this file (the default is y ). If you have any PGA
files, you will be asked if you want to sync those files. In addition, if the secondary MPX has
any additional image, then the following prompt will be displayed.
Remove Additional images from Secondary (n) :
Press y to remove any extra image on the secondary MPX or press n to keep these files (the
default is n ). After you answer all the prompts, something similar to the following will be
displayed.
8 files to be synchronized
