Using the File System All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family have one internal bootflash: that resides in the supervisor or switching module.You have access to two directories within the internal bootflash: file system. • The volatile: directory provides temporary storage, and it is also the default. Files in temporary storage (volatile:) are erased when the switch reboots. • The bootflash: (nonvolatile storage) directory provides permanent storage. Files in permanent storage (bootflash:) are preserved through reboots and power outages. Cisco MDS 9500 Series directors contain an additional external CompactFlash referred to as the slot0: directory. The external CompactFlash, an optional device for MDS 9500 Series directors, can be used for storing software images, logs, and core dumps. You can use Device Manager to perform the following functions to help you manage software image files and configuration files: • Flash Files, page 16-3 • Creating a Directory, page 16-4 • Deleting an Existing File or Directory, page 16-5 • Copying Files, page 16-6 • Performing Other File Manipulation Tasks, page 16-7 Flash Files To list the files in a directory using Device Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Click Admin > Flash Files.
