The <copy-config> and <delete-config> base protocol operations are supported for specific combinations of source and target datastores.
The <copy-config> operation is supported for the following combinations of sources and targets:
<source>=<url> and <target>=<startup> (as long as both are not remote URLs)
<source>=<startup> and <target>=<url> (as long as both are not remote URLs)
<source>=<running> and <target>=<url>
equivalent of admin save file-url
an index file is also saved if persist on is configured in the BOF
<source>=<running> and <target>=<startup>
equivalent of admin save
an index file is also saved if persist on is configured in the BOF
The <running> datastore cannot be a <target> for a <copy-config> operation.
Remote URL-to-remote URL copies are not supported. For example, if the primary-image is a remote URL, a <startup> to copy fails with an error.
The <copy-config> operation uses the CLI content layer format. The format of the source and target is block CLI.
The <delete-config> operation is supported for the following targets:
<url>
<startup>
The <delete-config> operation is not allowed on the <running> datastore.
