March 2005 Files and Directories 53
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 direc-
tory.
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 reli-
able, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the
/flash/working directory. This is done via the reload work-
ing command. For more information, refer to your
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Note. For detailed information on using directories, refer
to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide.
