Boot code synchronization feature

The Brocade device supports automatic synchronization of the boot image in the active and

redundant management modules. When the new boot image is copied into the active module, it is

automatically synchronized with the redundant management module.

NOTE

There is currently no option for manual synchronization of the boot image.

To activate the boot synchronization process, enter the following command.

Brocade#copy tftp flash 10.20.65.194 /GA/SXZ07200.bin bootrom

The system responds with the following message.

Brocade#Load to buffer (8192 bytes per dot)

..................Write to boot flash......................

TFTP to Flash Done.

Brocade#Synchronizing with standby module...

Boot image synchronization done.

Viewing the contents of flash files

The copy flash console command can be used to display the contents of a configuration file,

backup file, or renamed file stored in flash memory. The file contents are displayed on the console

when the command is entered at the CLI.

To display a list of files stored in flash memory, do one of the following:

• For devices other than FCX and ICX, enter the dir command at the monitor mode. To enter

monitor mode from any level of the CLI, press the Shift and Control+Y keys simultaneously then

press the M key. Enter the dir command to display a list of the files stored in flash memory. To

exit monitor mode and return to the CLI, press Control+Z.
