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 systems. Refer to your
system’s Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.
The following text is an example of using the

Save the Running-configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Force10 recommends that you
copy your running-configuration to the startup-configuration. The system uses the startup-configuration
during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the internal flash on the
primary RPM by default, but it can be saved onto an external flash (on an RPM) or a remote server.
