Create a Config Set by Cloning

Provides an example of cloning a config set and includes information about what happens (and doesn't happen) during this operation.

This procedure assumes that the config set to be cloned (the original) already exists.

Use this procedure when there is already a config set with site-specific data and additional config sets are needed with minor variations (for partitions, alternate configurations, etc.), or when manually backing up a config set. This procedure shows an example of creating config set p0-new by cloning it from existing config set p0. No callback scripts or configurator sessions occur when cloning a config set. The clone will have the same config set type as the original.

Note that the cfgset command is run as root.

Create a clone using the --clone option.

smw# cfgset create --clone p0 p0-new

The configurator is not invoked when the --clone option is used, so no configurator session occurs, and no changes are made to the configuration data in the original config set.
