Rob, I don't have any VIOS currently, but wouldn't any manually configured
files associated to this be the same as if you had installed it using some
other method to have configured VIOS.
I would say the files that would be saved using the viosbr command would be
the same.

Do you have an environment where you can test this out.

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.
