sysgen default base configuration group is the config group used at the last system start. if a start recovery (instead of norecovery) was done after a config change, the system is started with config group bootup. you can change file nmgrxval.pub.sys and add sysgen command ba config and nmmgr automatic cross validation will execute successfully. woki +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > I do this: > sysgen> sh > base configuration group = BOOTUP > ....
