To save the running configuration to the working directory, enter the copy running-config working or
write memory command at the prompt, as shown:
-> copy running-config working
or
-> write memory
The above commands perform the same function. When these commands are issued the running configura-
tion, with all modifications made, is saved to a file called boot.cfg in the working directory.
Note. This command will not function if the switch is running from the certified directory. See “Where is
the Switch Running From?” on page 4-4 for an explanation.
The copy running-config working and write memory commands are described in detail in the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Note. The saved boot.cfg file will be overwritten if the takeover command is executed after the copy
running-config working or write memory commands, in an OmniSwitch set up with redundant CMMs.
Note. It is important to certify the working directory and synchronize the stack as soon as the validity of
the working directory software is established. Stacks booted from the working directory or unsynchro-
nized stacks are at risk of mismanaging data traffic due to incompatibilities in different versions of switch
software. Certifying the working directory is described in “Copying the Working Directory to the Certi-
fied Directory” on page 4-20, while synchronizing the switch is described in “Synchronizing the Primary
and Secondary CMMs” on page 4-26.
