Managing the ExtremeWare XOS Software
ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 Concepts Guide

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.
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.
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 13 , “ Security .”
Moving or Renaming Files on the Switch
To move or rename an existing configuration or policy file in the system, use the following command:
mv {memorycard} <old-name> {memorycard} <new-name>
Where the following is true:
●
memorycard—Specifies the removable external compact flash memory card
●
old-name
—Specifies the current name of the configuration or policy file
●
new-name
—Specifies the new name of the configuration or policy file
Configuration files have a .cfg file extension; policy files have a .pol file extension.
When you rename a file, 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. For example, if you have an
existing configuration file named
test.cfg , the new filename must include the .cfg file extension.
When you rename a file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Rename test.cfg to megtest.cfg on both primary and backup MSM? (y/n)
Enter
y
to rename the file on your system. Enter
n
to cancel this process and keep the existing filename.
For the
memorycard
option, this command can now move files between the external memory card and
the switch. If you use the
memorycard
option for both the
old-name
and the
new-name
, this command
just renames a file on the external memory card.
