13.7 Overlaying the New Driver Configuration File over the Existing Driver

Before you begin, make sure that any customized policies have different policy names than the default policies. When a driver configuration is overlaid with a new driver file, the existing policies are overwritten. If your custom policies do not have a unique name, you lose those custom policies.
