Working and Certified Are Different
If the software in the /flash/working directory differs even
slightly from the software in the /flash/certified directory, the
switch will automatically run from the /flash/certified
directory.
When the switch runs from the /flash/certified directory,
configuration changes cannot be saved via the write memory
command.
My Working and Certified directories are different. Can
I force a reboot from the Working directory?
Yes. If its configuration and image files are known to be reli-
able, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the
/flash/working directory. This is done via the
reload working command. For more information, refer to
your OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Note. For detailed information on using directories, refer
to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the
OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch Management Guide.
