Performing an Upgrade with No Configuration File

If the upgrade you want to perform does not require any special settings, you can
proceed without a configuration file.
For example, if you have only one system disk, and you just want to split the system
briefly to test how a hotfix would affect the operating system without committing the
changes, you might not need a configuration file.
To proceed without a configuration file, click No Configuration File on the
Configuration page. The Active Upgrade console immediately displays the Active
Upgrade page and runs a readiness check. If your system meets the
the Active Upgrade process, you can split the system at this time.
