Files and Directories

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.

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

 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.
