Synchronizing the primary and secondary CMMs is done using the 

 command 

described in 

Note. If a switch fails over to the secondary CMM, it is necessary to have a management interface connec-
tion to the secondary CMM (a console port). 

At the same time that you copy the working directory to the certified directory, you can synchronize the 
secondary CMM with the primary CMM. In the case of redundant CMMs, this ensures that the two 
modules are booting from the same software. 

To copy the working directory to the certified directory of the primary CMM, and at the same time 
synchronize the software of the primary and secondary CMM, use the following command:

-> copy working certified flash-synchro

Note. This command will not function if the switch is running from the certified directory. See 

 for an explanation.

On a stack, this command will synchronize all switches in the stack. The 

 

command is described in detail in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

Note. When synchronizing the primary and secondary CMMs, it is important to remember that the 
boot.params file and the switch date and time are not automatically synchronized. See the OmniSwitch 
6600 Family Getting Started Guide for information on the boot.params file, and 

 for information on setting the switch date and time. The date and time are synchronized 

using the
