When the switch is running from the /flash/working directory software, configuration changes can be saved via the write memory command. Working and Certified Are Different If the software in the /flash/working directory differs even slightly from the software in the /flash/certified directory, the switch will automatically run from the /flash/certified directory. Working and Certified contents are different. Working Directory revised_boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. Working Directory boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. Certified Directory boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. The switch runs from Certified. Certified Directory boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. When the switch runs from the /flash/certified directory, configuration changes cannot be saved via the write memory command My Working and Certified directories are different. Can I force a reboot from the Working directory? Yes. If its configuration and image files are known to be reliable, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the /flash/working directory. This is done via the reload working command. For more information, refer to your OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. Working and Certified contents are different. Working Directory revised_boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. The reload working command overrides the default; the switch runs from Working. Working Directory revised_boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. Certified Directory boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. Certified Directory boot.cfg Hbase.img Hrelease.img Etc. Note. For detailed information on using directories, refer to the "Managing CMM Directory Content" chapter in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide. March 2005 Files and Directories 53
