mstconfig Commands
mstconfig Backup Command
The backup command is used to save the current non-volatile configurations (TLV) in the deviceinto a
file in raw TLV syntax so it can be restored anytime using the set_raw command.
mstconfig backup command allows backing up the all of the configurations which are relatedonly to
the PCI Physical Function associated with the given MST device. To back up all of thedevice
configurations, perform the operation from every PCI Physical Function the deviceexposes. Restoring
the configurations must be made from the matching PCI Physical Function.

Generating an XML Template for the Configurations
Users can generate an XML file that contains a template for the configurations. The templatedescribes
the configurations and their parameters. No values are included in the template.
To generate such a template, run the gen_tlvs_file command. This command will generate a
filecontaining a list of all supported configurations by mstconfig, with a zero appearing in the end
ofeach configuration. To choose a configuration, change the 0 to 1, then save the file and run
thegen_xml_template command. An XML file containing the required configurations will begenerated.
Example:
# mstconfig gen_tlvs_file /tmp/confs.txt

Done!
# cat /tmp/confs.txt
nv_host_to_bmc 0
nv_kdnet_data 0
nv_fpga_data 0
nv_packet_pacing 0

nv_global_pci_conf 0
In a MultiHost environment, these operations are required to be executed per host.
