Chapter 1 File System Management

 Note:

You can provide the directory argument in the following two ways in this chapter.

z In the form of [drive] [path]. In this case, the argument can be a string containing 1 to

64 characters.

z By specifying the name of a storage device, such as flash:/ and cf:/.

You can provide the file-url argument in the following two ways in this chapter.

z In the form of [drive] [path] [file name]. In this case, the argument can be a string

containing 1 to 64 characters.

z By specifying the name of a storage device, such as flash:/ and cf:/.

1.1 File System Configuration

1.1.1 Introduction to File System

To facilitate the management of storage devices such as the Flash of a switch, an

Ethernet switch has the file system module built in. The file system enables you to

access and manage files and directories by performing the operations of creating,

deleting, modifying, renaming a file or a directory and displaying the content of a file.

By default, a switch prompts for confirmation before executing the commands which

have potential risks (for example, deleting and overwriting files).

 Note:

S7500 series switches support SRPU switchover. Both the primary and the secondary

SRPU have file system built in for you to manipulate the files on the both SRPUs. Note

that the URL of a file on the secondary SRPU must begin with slot[No.]#flash:/, where

No. is the number of the slot where the secondary SRPU is seated. Assume that the

secondary SRPU is seated in slot 1, then you need to use slot1#flash:/text.txt to identify

the file named text.txt and residing in the root directory of the secondary SRPU.

1.1.2 CF Card Configuration

By installing a CF (compact flash) card in the compact flash slot of a SRPU of an S7500

switch, you can extend the memory space of the switch.

z With a CF card seated in the compact flash slot, you can access the root directory

of the CF card by executing the cd cf: command.

z The commands used to manipulate files, such as dir, copy, delete, and move,

apply to the files on a CF card.

z You can disable a CF card by using the umount cf: command. To use a disabled

CF card again, you need to remove it and install it again.

Perform the following operations to configure a CF card:

To do... Use the command... Remarks

Enter the root directory of a CF card

cd cf:

Required

Disable a CF card

umount cf:

Optional

 Note:

Currently, only Salience III SRPU supports CF card.

The following table lists the operations that can be performed after you enter a directory

on a CF card.

To do... Use the command... Remarks

Delete a file

delete [ /unreserved ]

file-url

Optional

A deleted file can be

restored if you delete it by

executing the delete

command with the

/unreserved keyword not

specified. You can use the

undelete command to

restore deleted files of this

kind.

Restore a deleted file undelete file-url

Optional

This operation can only

restore the files deleted

with the /unreserved

keyword not specified.

Delete a file in the recycle

bin

reset recycle-bin

[ file-url ] [ /force ]

Optional

Rename a file

rename fileurl-source

fileurl-dest

Optional

Copy a file

copy fileurl-source

fileurl-dest

Optional

Move a file

move fileurl-source

fileurl-dest

Optional

Display the content of a

file

Caution:

z For files deleted with the /unreserved keyword not specified and with the same

names, only the latest deleted file can be restored.

z The files which are deleted using the delete command with the /unreserved

keyword not specified are actually moved to the recycle bin and thus still take

storage space. You can clear the recycle bin to make room for other files by using

the reset recycle-bin command.

z In the output information of the dir /all command, deleted files (that is, those in the

recycle bin) are embraced in brackets.

z If the configuration files are deleted, the switch adopts the default configuration

when it starts the next time.

z The execute command cannot be executed recursively.

1.1.6 Storage Device-Related Operations

With the file system, you can format a storage device, such as the Flash or a CF card.

Note that the format operation leads to the loss of all the data on the storage device and

is irretrievable. For memory spaces that are unavailable due to unexpected errors, you

can use the fixdisk command to restore them.

Perform the following operations to perform storage device-related configuration:

To do... Use the command... Remarks

Format a storage device

format device

Optional

Restore a storage device

fixdisk device

Optional

1.1.7 Prompt Mode Configuration

You can set the file system prompt mode to be alert or quiet. When in the alert mode,

the file system prompts for confirmation when you perform irreversible operations (such

as deleting a file completely or overwriting a file). If you are in the quiet mode, you are

not prompted when you execute the operations.

Follow these steps to perform configuration on prompt mode of file system:
