Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change, but only if
both RPMs are running the same version of FTOS.
• When copying to a server, a hostname can only be used if a DNS server is configured.
• The
usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only. Refer
to the FTOS Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.
