Clearing Space for a New Release File

Clearing Space for a New Release File
4-2
Release files consume large amounts of disk space, so the ARX only stores up to three
release files. If your switch has three already, you must delete an unused release
before you copy a new one onto the chassis. Use the
listing of current releases:
show releases
This presents the files as a directory listing. Some files have single-letter codes (R, A,
or B) that signify how the switch is using the release file:
• R is the running release.
• A is the armed release, the one that will run on the next reboot. By default, this is
the same release as the running (R) release.
• B is the backup release. Acopia personnel can revert the switch back to this
release if necessary.
For example, the command below shows three releases on the current switch. The
test3.rel file is currently running, and armed to run again on the next reboot. The
test2.rel file is the backup, for disaster recovery. The other release file is unused, and
is therefore a candidate for replacement:
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# show releases
releases
test1.rel
B test2.rel
R A test3.rel
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# ...
