SPU Switchover/XL Configuration Files 

SPU Switchover/XL configuration files are kept in the same groups as
other configuration files and have similar properties, with the following
exceptions:

   *   If the SPU configuration changes are kept to the standard
       configuration files that the system was booted from, the changes
       take effect when the SPUCONTROL SETUP command is executed.  If the
       configuration changes are kept to a different group, the system
       must be rebooted in order for the changes to take effect, and then
       another SPUCONTROL SETUP command must be issued.

   *   In order for the SPU configuration files to be kept synchronized
       between SPUs that are identified as pairs, the synchronization is
       done by the system where the configuration is set up.  This is
       done through the execution of the SPUCONTROL SETUP command.
       Configuration changes can be done on either system since the
       configuration file exists on both systems.  However, any new
       volume sets that are added to the configuration must be mounted in
       the MASTER, MEMBER, or LONER state on the system where the
       configuration is being done.

       Volume sets that are homed to the system where the configuration
       is being done must be in the MASTER or MEMBER state.

       Volume sets that are homed to another system must be VSCLOSEd and
       in the LONER state.  The SPUCONTROL SETUP command will push the
       closed volume sets over to the other system.
