Managing ExtremeWare XOS Processes

ExtremeWare XOS consists of a number of cooperating processes running on the switch. With process
control, under certain conditions, you can stop and start processes, restart failed processes, examine
information about the processes, and update the software for a specific process or set of processes.

Behavior
ExtremeWare XOS supports saving a configuration file into any named file and
supports more than two saved configurations.
For example, you can download a configuration file from a network TFTP
server and save that file as primary, secondary, or with a user-defined name.
You also select where to save the configuration: primary or secondary
partition, or another space.
The file names primary and secondary exist for backward compatibility with
ExtremeWare.
ExtremeWare XOS uses the
the switch from the network TFTP server.
