BOF file not being saved to flash

[Smiths5]

Hi. SASE running .R9. After downloading the configs from the DHCP server if the SAS is powered down and then powered up it has to download the .cfg file again from the DHCP server. If I understand correctly this means that the config BOF file is not being saved to the flash. Do I understand correctly and if so what could cause this?
Thanks

The information on which config to use is contained in the BOF file. So I assume in your example, primary-config in your BOF is set to download the config from a remote server rather than look at a file on the local flash filesystem.

To save the bof file after making a change, the command is "bof save". This is separate to the config file.

You should check that the save command succeeds after changing something. You can also check the modification time on the file with the command "file dir bof.cfg" and check that the contents of the file are correct with "file type bof.cfg" before reloading.
