Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The following describes the drive name.

drive is the storage device and is named as flash:.
If devices are stacked, drive can be named as:
- flash: root directory of the flash memory of the master switch in the stack.
- chassis ID#flash: root directory of the flash memory on a device in the stack.
For example, slot2#flash: indicates the flash memory in slot 2.

The path can be an absolute path or relative path. A relative path can be designated relative to either the root directory or the current working directory. A relative path beginning with a slash (/) is a path relative to the root directory.

flash:/my/test/ is an absolute path.
/selftest/ is a path relative to the root directory and indicates the selftest directory in the root directory.
selftest/ is a path relative to the current working directory and indicates the selftest directory in the current working directory.

Precautions

If the destination file name is not specified, the designation file and the source file have the same name. If the source file and the destination file are in the same directory, you must specify the destination file name. If the destination file name is not specified, you cannot copy the source file.
If the destination file name is the same as that of an existing file, the system prompts you whether to overwrite the existing file. The system prompt is displayed only when file prompt is set to alert.

Example

# Copy the file config.cfg from the root directory of the flash card to flash:/temp. The destination file name is temp.cfg.

<HUAWEI> copy flash:/config.cfg flash:/temp/temp.cfg
