Copying The Certified Directory To The Working Directory - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Management Manual

Managing the Directory Structure (Non-Redundant)
When the software on the working directory of a switch has proven to be effective and reliable, eventually
the contents of the working directory should be copied into the certified directory.
To copy the contents of the working directory to the certified directory, enter the following command at
the prompt:
-> copy working certified
The copy working certified command is only valid if the switch is running from the working directory. If
you attempt to copy the working directory to the certified directory when the switch is running from the
certified directory, nothing happens, and the files in the certified directory remains unchanged.
Note. In order for this command to work, the amount of free space in flash must equal the size of the files
being copied. If there is not enough free space, the copy attempt fails and an error message is generated.
Only image files, the boot.cfg file, and the certs.pem file should be kept in the working directory.
Note. It is important to synchronize the stack as soon as the validity of the software is established. Unsyn-
chronized stacks are at risk of mismanaging data traffic due to incompatibilities in different versions of
switch software. Synchronizing the switch is described in
CMMs" on page 5-27.
