Synchronize - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

synchronize

synchronize
Description
Replicates all saved images and configurations from the primary MSM to the backup MSM on the
switch.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command:
1 Reboots the backup MSM to prepare it for synchronizing with the primary MSM
2 Performs a binary copy of the primary MSM to the backup MSM, including the primary and
secondary software images, all configurations and policies, and temporary files
3 Reboots the backup MSM after replication is complete
During a synchronization, half of the switch fabric is lost. When the primary MSM finishes replicating
its configurations and images to the backup MSM, the full switch fabric is restored.
To use the
synchronize
BlackDiamond 10K-series switch—Both the backup and the primary MSMs must be running
●
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 or later.
BlackDiamond 8810 switch—Both the backup and the primary MSMs must be running ExtremeWare
●
XOS 11.1 or later.
BlackDiamond 8806 switch—Both the backup and the primary MSMs must be running ExtremeWare
●
XOS 11.3 or later.
When you install a backup MSM, you are not prompted to synchronize the images and the
configurations from the primary. If not synchronized, the backup uses its image and the primary's
configuration. This image/configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently
after failover. Use the
