Boot code synchronization feature
The Brocade device supports automatic synchronization of the boot image in the active and
redundant management modules. When the new boot image is copied into the active module, it is
automatically synchronized with the redundant management module.
NOTE
There is currently no option for manual synchronization of the boot image.
To activate the boot synchronization process, enter the following command.
Brocade#copy tftp flash 10.20.65.194 /GA/SXZ07200.bin bootrom
The system responds with the following message.
Brocade#Load to buffer (8192 bytes per dot)
..................Write to boot flash......................
TFTP to Flash Done.
Brocade#Synchronizing with standby module...
Boot image synchronization done.
Viewing the contents of flash files
The copy flash console command can be used to display the contents of a configuration file,
backup file, or renamed file stored in flash memory. The file contents are displayed on the console
when the command is entered at the CLI.
To display a list of files stored in flash memory, do one of the following:
• For devices other than FCX and ICX, enter the dir command at the monitor mode. To enter
monitor mode from any level of the CLI, press the Shift and Control+Y keys simultaneously then
press the M key. Enter the dir command to display a list of the files stored in flash memory. To
exit monitor mode and return to the CLI, press Control+Z.
• For FCX devices, enter the show dir command at any level of the CLI, or enter the dir command
at the monitor mode.
• For ICX devices, enter the show files command at the device configuration prompt.
The following shows an example command output.
