Managing The Directory Structure (Non-Redundant); Rebooting The Switch - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Manual

Managing the Directory Structure (Non-Redundant)

Managing the Directory Structure
(Non-Redundant)
The following sections define commands that allow the user to manipulate the files in the directory struc-
ture of a single CMM in an OmniSwitch Chassis-based switch or of a single OmniSwitch Stackable Series
switch.
Note. All of the commands described in the following sections work on switches in a stack with redun-
dancy enabled. These commands also work on switches with redundant CMMs. However, there may be
special circumstances that apply when modifying parameters on a switch in a stack that do not apply to a
standalone switch. The same special circumstances that apply when modifying parameters on a switch
with a redundant CMM do not apply to a switch without a redundant CMM. Redundant command usage is
covered in "Managing Redundancy in a Stack and CMM" on page
Users Guide for more information on switch redundancy.

Rebooting the Switch

When booting the switch, the software in the certified directory is loaded into the RAM memory of the
switch and used as a running configuration, as shown:
Working
Primary CMM
The certified directory software should be the best, most reliable versions of both the image files and the
boot.cfg file (configuration file). The switch will run from the certified directory after boot if the working
and certified directories are not exactly the same. If they are the same, then the switch will run from the
working directory, allowing changes made to the running configuration to be saved. If the switch is
running from the certified directory, you cannot save any changes to the running configuration, or copy
files between the directories.
