Managing the Directory Structure of the CMM
(Non-Redundant)
The following sections define commands that allow the user to manipulate the files in the directory struc-
ture of a non-redundant CMM.
Note. All of the commands described in the following sections work on a switch with a redundant CMM.
However, there may be special circumstances that apply when modifying parameters on a switch with a
redundant CMM that do not apply to a switch without a redundant CMM. Redundant CMM CLI
command usage is covered in “Managing Redundant CMMs” on page 4-19. See the OmniSwitch 7700/
7800 Hardware Users Guide and OmniSwitch 8800 Hardware Users Guide for more information on
CMM redundancy.
Rebooting the Switch
When booting the switch, the software in the certified directory is loaded into the RAM memory of the
switch and used as a running configuration, as shown:
The certified directory software should be the best, most reliable versions of both the image files and the
boot.cfg file (configuration file). The switch will run from the certified directory after boot if the working
and certified directories are not exactly the same. If they are the same, then the switch will run from the
working directory, allowing changes made to the running configuration to be saved. If the switch is
running from the certified directory, you cannot save any changes to the running configuration, or copy
files between the directories.
