Let's say you manually entered line by line to configure your vios lpar many moons ago.
Now you want to scratch the v2 version and get to v3.
If I run the viosbr and transfer that file to another system, scratch the system, install v3 and run the restore from the viosbr data should I lose any configuration or security data? Logs are expendable.
