Testing USB Drives
You can test either the internal USB drive (usb0) or a USB drive attached to the external USB port
(usb1). The following example tests a USB drive attached to the USB port of the ServerIron ADX.
ServerIronADX# usb test 1
Syntax: usb test 0 | 1
The 0 parameter directs the ServerIron ADX to test the internal USB drive.
The 1 parameter directs the ServerIron ADX to test an externally connected USB drive.
Clearing persistent information before an RMA
The following commands have been provided to allow you to delete persistent information from a
ServerIron ADX before RMA.
NOTE
To delete all information on the internal USB drive, you can use the usb format 0 command as
described in “Formatting USB drives” on page 29.
Erasing flash data
You can delete all files in the code flash as shown in the following.
ServerIronADX# erase flash all-data
Syntax: erase flash all-data <active-only |standby-only | both>
The <active-only |standby-only | both> parameter specifies whether the MP is in active mode,
standby mode or both. The default value is “both”.
NOTE
The help prompt (?) will display the <active-only |standby-only | both> parameter only when the
redundant MPs and standby MPs exist in the device.
Clearing crash dump Information
Management module crash dump files which are not visible to users can be deleted as shown in
the following.
ServerIronADX# clear mp-dumps
Syntax: clear mp-dumps
Configuring SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) ensures all devices have a synchronized time and date. If the
ServerIronADX is configured to reference an authoritative SNTP server, the ServerIronADX
automatically sets its system time counter according to the server (even after a system reset).
Refer to RFC 1769 for more information. Refer to show clock to display the current settings.
