Managing CMM Directory Content

Rebooting from a Directory

Besides a regular boot of the switch (from the certified directory), you can also force the switch to boot
from a different directory. This is useful for checking whether a new configuration or image file will boot
the switch correctly, before committing it to the certified directory.
The following steps explain the case of a switch being rebooted from the working directory, however any
user-defined directory can be specified:
1
The certified directory is used to initially boot the switch.
2
Changes are made to the configuration file and are saved to the configuration file in the working direc-
tory by using the write memory
3
The switch is rebooted from the working directory by using the
To reboot the switch from the working directory, enter the following command at the prompt, along with a
timeout period (in minutes), as shown:
-> reload from working rollback-timeout 5
At the end of the timeout period, the switch will reboot again normally, as if a reload command had been
issued.
Rebooting the Switch from a directory with No Rollback Timeout
It is possible to reboot from a directory without setting a rollback timeout, in the following manner:
-> reload from working no rollback-timeout
Scheduling a Directory Reboot
It is possible to cause a directory reboot of the CMM at a future time by setting time parameters in
conjunction with the
rollback time-out time, or that there is no rollback.
To schedule a working directory reboot of the CMM in 3 hours and 3 minutes with no rollback time-out,
you would enter:
-> reload from working no rollback-timeout in 3:03
To schedule a working directory reboot of the CMM at 8:00pm with a rollback time-out of 10 minutes,
you would enter:
-> reload from working rollback-timeout 10 at 20:00
Cancelling a Rollback Timeout
To cancel a rollback time-out, enter the reload cancel command as shown:
-> reload cancel
