Backing up network server descriptions for a Linux logical partition
When you save the storage space objects that are associated with a logical partition that uses virtual disks, you must also save the network server description (NWSD). Otherwise, a logical partition might not be able to re-establish items such as the file-system permissions for the logical partition.
Use the Save Configuration (SAVCFG) command to save the network
server description:
- On the IBM® i command line, type SAVCFG.
- Press Enter to save the NWSD configuration.
The Save Configuration command (SAVCFG) saves the objects associated with an NWSD, including the line descriptions and network-server storage space link information. SAVCFG does not save the storage spaces associated with this server. You can use the Save Object (SAV) command to save the storage spaces.
