System Manager : Understanding System Manager : Synchronization of active and persistent values

Synchronization of active and persistent values
You must synchronize the active and persistent values in the /etc/rc file to prevent the loss of configuration changes made to the storage system on reboot.
Running network commands from the command-line interface results in mismatches between the active and persistent values in the /etc/rc files.
Although System Manager detects such configuration mismatches, you cannot use System Manager to edit the /etc/rc file to update these values. You must use the command-line interface to eliminate the configuration mismatches by updating the persistent values in the /etc/rc file.
For example, consider an /etc/rc file that consists of the hostname myhost, ifconfig e0a 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0, and savecore commands when the storage system is running. If the ifconfig e0b 5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 command is run only from the command-line interface without updating the /etc/rc file, then on storage system reboot, the e0b interface is not configured because the persistent value is not updated in the /etc/rc file.
