Viewing the Files
Question How do I display the state of the operational software image and
configuration files stored on the 2212?
Answer To use the change management tool in the command line interface
to view the operational software image and the configuration files, follow
these steps:
1. From the OPCON prompt (*), type talk 6 and press Enter to reach
the
Config
>
prompt. If the
Config
>
prompt does not appear, press
Enter again.
2. Type boot and press Enter. You will see the prompt
Boot config
>
.
3. Type list and press Enter. You will see a list similar to this one:
Boot config
>
list
BANK A BANK B
IMAGE - ACTIVE IMAGE - AVAIL
CONFIG 1 - ACTIVE CONFIG 1 - AVAIL
CONFIG 2 - AVAIL CONFIG 2 - AVAIL
CONFIG 3 - NONE CONFIG 3 - NONE
CONFIG 4 - NONE CONFIG 4 - NONE
Each bank represents one image of the operational code. The images
stored in BANK A and BANK B are stored on the hard file or compact
flash. The Configs represent the configuration files that are stored with
each bank.
IMAGE refers to the status of the operational software and
CONFIG refers to the status of the configuration files.
The possible IMAGE and CONFIG status:
ACTIVE This file is currently loaded in active memory and is
running on the IBM 2212.
Note: The status of this file can be changed only by
resetting the IBM 2212. If a config or an image
is active, it is locked and cannot be overwritten
or erased.
AVAIL This is a valid file that can be made active.
CORRUPT This file was damaged or was not loaded onto the IBM
2212 hard file or compact disk completely.
PENDING This file will be loaded and become active the next time
the IBM 2212 is reloaded.
LOCAL This file will become active at the next reset. This reset
will cause the currently ACTIVE file to become
PENDING. LOCAL is a status that makes a file ACTIVE
only for one reset of the IBM 2212.
Only one bank at a time contains an ACTIVE image. Only one
configuration file is ACTIVE and it must be within the ACTIVE bank.
To use the Service Recovery Interface (
SVC>
), to view the operational
software and configuration files, follow these steps:
1. Access the
SVC>
prompt as described on page “Accessing the
Service Recovery Prompt (SVC>)” on page A-5.
