To erase a file, at the
Boot config
>
prompt, type erase. Follow the prompts. If
you select a file to erase that is BROKEN or NONE, the erase option is
discontinued.
Using the Copy Command
The Copy command allows you to move a file from one location in the storage area
to another. This command allows you to change the status as well. The file that
you move always receives the status of the storage area that it is moved to. For
example, suppose that you have this scenario:
¹
The configuration file in BANK A CONFIG 1 is AVAIL. The configuration file in
BANK B CONFIG 1 is PENDING.
¹
You copy the configuration in BANK A CONFIG 1 to BANK B CONFIG 1.
In this case, the original configuration file in BANK A CONFIG 1 remains
unchanged and AVAIL. The configuration that was in BANK B CONFIG 1 is
overwritten by a copy of the configuration file that is in BANK A CONFIG 1. This
copy retains the status of the file that it overwrote, in this case, PENDING.
These are the prompts that you would use to perform this copy process.
Boot config
>
copy config
Copy FROM Bank number? A
Copy FROM Config number? 1
Copy TO Bank number? B
Copy TO Config number? 1
If you copy an image, the same rules apply except that image files can be copied
only from Bank to Bank. These steps describe how the copy of an image affects
the image that was previously in the Bank:
1. The copy overwrites the image that was previously in the Bank.
2. The copy acquires the status of the image that was previously in the Bank.
