Formatting Flash Devices and File Systems
Internal bootflash
All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family have one internal bootflash: that resides in the supervisor
or switching module.You have access to two locations within the internal bootflash: file system.
•
The volatile: file system provides temporary storage, and it is also the default location for file system
commands. Files in temporary storage (volatile:) are erased when the switch reboots.
•
The bootflash: (nonvolatile storage) file system provides permanent storage. The files in bootflash:
are preserved through reboots and power outages.
External CompactFlash (Slot0)
Cisco MDS 9500 Series directors contain an additional external CompactFlash referred to as the slot0:
file system.
The external CompactFlash, an optional device for MDS 9500 Series directors, can be used for storing
software images, logs, and core dumps.
Formatting Flash Devices and File Systems
By formatting a Flash device or a file system, you are clearing out the contents of the device or the file
system and restoring it to its factory-shipped state.
See the
“About Flash Devices” section on page 2-24
and the
“Using Switch File Systems” section on
page 2-26
.
Initializing Internal bootflash
When a switch is shipped, the
init system
command is already performed and you do not need to issue
it again. Initializing the switch resets the entire internal Flash device and erases all data in the bootflash:
file system. The internal Flash device is composed of several file systems with bootflash: being one of
them. All files in bootflash: are erased and you must download the system and kickstart images again.
After issuing an
init system
command, you do not have to format the bootflash: again because bootflash:
is automatically formatted.
Note
The
init system
command also installs a new loader from the existing (running) kickstart image. You
can access this command from the
switch(boot)#
prompt (see
Chapter 7, “Software Images”
).
Caution
If your system has an active supervisor module currently running, you must issue the
system standby
manual-boot
command in EXEC mode on the active supervisor module before issuing the
init system
command on the standby supervisor module to avoid corrupting the internal bootflash:. After the
init
system
command completes on the standby supervisor module, issue the
system no standby
manual-boot
command in EXEC mode on the active supervisor module.
If bootflash: is found corrupted during a boot sequence, you will see the following message:
ERROR:bootflash: has unrecoverable error; please do “format bootflash:”
