ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 937
mv
mv <old-name> <new-name>
Description
Renames an existing configuration or policy file in the system.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
If you rename a file with a given extension, remember the following:
• Configuration files use the .cfg file extension
• Policy files use the .pol file extension
Make sure the renamed file uses the same file extension as the original file. If you change the file
extensions, the file may be unrecognized by the system.
This command also replicates the action from the primary MSM to the backup MSM. For example, if
you rename a file on the primary MSM, the same file on the backup MSM is renamed. A message
appears that asks you to confirm this action.
In ExtremeWare 10.1, this command was available only on the primary MSM. For example, if you
renamed a file on the primary MSM, the same file on the backup MSM was not renamed.
Example
The following command renames the configuration file named Testb91.cfg to Activeb91.cfg :
mv Testb91.cfg Activeb91.cfg
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1.
Support for replicating information from the primary MSM to the backup MSM was introduced in
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.
old-name Specifies the current name of the configuration or policy file.
new-name Specifies the new name of the configuration or policy file.
