Configuration file management—With the enhanced configuration file management, you can oversee
and manage multiple configuration files on your switch. In addition, you can upload, download,
modify, and name configuration files used by the switch.
Process control—With process control, you can stop and start processes, restart failed processes, and
update the software for a specific process or set of processes.
Memory protection—With memory protection, each function can be bundled into a single application
module running as a memory protected process under real-time scheduling. In essence, ExtremeWare
XOS protects each process from every other process in the system. If one process experiences a memory
fault, that process cannot affect the memory space of another process.
CPU monitoring—With CPU monitoring, you can monitor CPU utilization for Management Switch
Fabric Modules (MSMs) and the individual processes running on the switch. Monitoring the workload
of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes.
The following sections describe in more detail how to manage the ExtremeWare XOS software.
Using the ExtremeWare XOS File System
The file system in ExtremeWare XOS is the structure by which files are organized, stored, and named.
The switch can store multiple user-defined configuration and policy files, each with its own name.
Using a series of commands, you can manage the files on your system. For example, you can rename or
copy a configuration file on the switch, display a comprehensive list of the configuration and policy
files on the switch, or delete a policy file from the switch.
NOTE
Filenames are case-sensitive. For information on filename restrictions, please refer to the specific command in the
ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Guide .
You can also download configuration and policy files from the switch to a network Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) server using TFTP. For detailed information about downloading switch configurations,
see
Chapter A , “ Software Upgrade and Boot Options .” For detailed information about downloading
policies and ACLs, see Chapter 12 , “ Policy Manager .”
