Copying the Working Directory to the Certified Directory
When the running configuration is saved to the working directory, the switch’s working and certified
directories are now different. This difference, if the CMM reboots, causes the switch to boot and run from
the certified directory. When the switch is booted and run from the certified directory, changes made to
switch functionality cannot be saved and files cannot be moved between directories. The boot.cfg file
saved on the working directory needs to be saved to the certified directory, as shown:
In this diagram:
1 The switch boots from the certified directory and changes are made to the running configuration.
2 The changes are saved to the working directory as the boot.cfg file.
3 The contents of the working directory are saved to the certified directory.
Once the working directory is copied to the certified directory, and the switch reboots, it will reboot from
the certified directory but run from the working directory. When the switch runs in this fashion, changes
made to the running configuration can be saved to the working directory as described in “Copying the
Running Configuration to the Working Directory” on page 4-15.
Note. Only software that has been thoroughly validated as viable and reliant software should be copied to
the certified directory. Once you copy software to the certified directory, you will not be able to recover a
previous version of the image or configuration files.
