Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• The internal flash memories on the route processor modules (RPMs) are synchronized whenever there
is a change, but only if both RPMs are running the same version of Dell Networking OS.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is
configured.
• The usbflash command is supported on Z9000. Refer to your system’s Release Notes for a list of
approved USB vendors.
