Copying the RUNNING DIRECTORY to the Certified Directory
When the RUNNING CONFIGURATION is saved to the RUNNING DIRECTORY, the switch’s
RUNNING DIRECTORY and certified directories are now different. This difference, if the CMM reboots,
causes the switch to boot and run from the certified directory. When the switch is booted and run from the
certified directory, changes made to switch functionality cannot be saved. The vcboot.cfg file saved in the
RUNNING DIRECTORY needs to be saved to the certified directory, as shown:
In this diagram, the working directory is the RUNNING DIRECTORY:
1 The switch boots from the certified directory and changes are made to the RUNNING CONFIGURA-
TION.
2 The RUNNING DIRECTORY is changed from certified to a different directory such as working.
-> modify running-directory working
3 The changes are saved to the working directory in the vcboot.cfg file.
-> write memory
4 The contents of the working directory are saved to the certified directory.
-> copy running certified
