Creating and Managing Configuration Files
Editing an Existing Configuration File
Editing a configuration file allows you to open and edit a configuration file that you have previously saved. After you edit the configuration file, you can view the Upgrade Summary, and, if applicable, proceed with the upgrade as configured.
To edit a configuration file
1.On the Configuration page, click Edit Configuration File.
2.Do one of the following to open the file:
•In the Locate Configuration File dialog box, type the full path name and file name for the configuration file next to Configuration File.
•Click Browse to locate the file using a file browser. (The browser displays only files with the .Config extension.) Click the file in the file browser, then click Open to select the file.
3.In the Locate Configuration File dialog box, click Load to open the configuration file.
When you edit a configuration file, the file opens on the Disk Selection page.

Performing an Upgrade with No Configuration File
If the upgrade you want to perform does not require any special settings, you can proceed without a configuration file.
For example, if you have only one system disk, and you just want to split the system briefly to test how a hotfix would affect the operating system without committing the changes, you might not need a configuration file.
To proceed without a configuration file, click No Configuration File on the Configuration page. The Active Upgrade console immediately displays the Active Upgrade page and runs a readiness check. If your system meets the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process, you can split the system at this time.
