HP Fabric Clustering System HP-UX Administrator's Guide, March 2008

Table 6-5 Copy Command Descriptions (continued)
descriptionargument
HP Fabric Switch file-system. This is an internal directory that is identified by name only.
The file-systems are config, images, and syslog. The specified file-system must be
appropriate for the type of file being copied. For example, if an attempt is made to copy a
configuration file from the syslog file-system, an error is returned because the name of the
file is not appropriate for the file-system. The file-system specification is always followed by
a colon (:).
fs
Name of the configuration, image, or log file to be copied. The file-name convention is:
configuration files end in “.cfg”, image files begin with “build”, and log files begin with
“ts_log”. (The .cfg extension is optional.)
file
NOTE: The copy and show logging commands are the only CLI commands which recognize
<Ctrl>-c. You may enter <Ctrl>-c during the uploading/downloading process to terminate
file transfer in the event network transfer hangs.
Examples of copying files to and from the chassis are shown below. The first example shows
copying a remote image file onto the chassis. The second example shows copying a local
configuration file to a remote FTP server.

Downloading Files to the System
To copy a configuration file, use the copy command. For example, to a copy a config file (example:
config_021215.cfg) from the home directory of the user anonymous to the config
file-system, enter a script such as:
HP-IB# copy
ftp://anonymous:taj@15.1.162.207/ib/HP-AB291A-Release-1.1.3hp-build023.img
image:HP-AB291A-Release-1.1.3hp-build023.img
operation completed successfully
HP-IB# dir image

NOTE: You can only download image and configuration files. Log files cannot be downloaded.
Image files require additional processing. Though they have been copied onto the chassis, image
files must be installed before they can be used to initialize the system. For information about
installing image files, refer to “Upgrading Image Files” (page 85).
Deleting Configuration, Image, and Log Files
The system manages available storage by rotating and compressing logs files. As a new log file
is generated, the oldest log file is discarded. Also, the controller limits the user to two uninstalled
image files.
This section describes how to proactively manage available space by deleting files.
