Emergency shell commands

File system names, directory names, or file names must be compliant with the naming conventions. For more information about the naming conventions and the methods for specifying the names, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Unless otherwise stated, a file or directory name argument in this document must contain the file system name and cannot contain file system location information. The path information can contain multiple levels of directories, each of which can have 1 to 255 characters. The file name alone (without the path information) can have 1 to 255 characters. The entire argument can have 1 to 511 characters.

copy

Use copy to copy a file.

Syntax

copy source-file { dest-file | dest-directory }

Views

User view

Parameters

source-file: Specifies the file to be copied.

dest-file: Specifies the destination file.

dest-directory: Specifies the destination directory. The system uses the name of the source file as the name for the destination file.

Usage guidelines

If the destination file already exists, the system prompts whether or not to overwrite it. If you enter Y, the existing file is overwritten. If you enter N, the command is not executed.

Examples

# Copy the test.cfg file. Save the copy to testbackup.cfg.

<boot> copy flash:/test.cfg flash:/testbackup.cfg

Copy flash:/test.cfg to flash:/testbackup.cfg?[Y/N]:y

Start to copy flash:/test.cfg to flash:/testbackup.cfg...Done.

# Copy the test.cfg file and save the copy to testbackup.cfg. Overwrite the existing file that has the same name as the destination file.

<boot> copy flash:/test.cfg flash:/testbackup.cfg

Copy flash:/test.cfg to flash:/testbackup.cfg?[Y/N]:y

flash:/testbackup.cfg already exists. Overwrite it?[Y/N]:y

Start to copy flash:/test.cfg to flash:/testbackup.cfg...Done.

delete

Views

User view

Parameters

file: Specifies the file to be deleted.

Syntax

format filesystem

Views

User view

Parameters

filesystem: Specifies a file system.

Usage guidelines

Use this command with caution. This command permanently deletes all files and directories from the file system, including the startup image files and startup configuration files. The deleted files and directories cannot be restored. Without startup images, the device cannot reboot.

Examples

# Format the flash: file system.

<boot> format flash:

All data on flash: will be lost, continue?[Y/N]:y

Formatting flash:… Done.

install load

Use install load to load a system image and start the Comware system.

Syntax

install load system-package

Views

User view

Parameters

system-package: Specifies a .bin system image file in the filesystemname/filename.bin format, for example, flash:/startup-system.bin. The file must be saved in the root directory of a file system on the current MPU or the current member device. The value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. The filesystemname cannot contain file system location information.

Usage guidelines

This command modifies the main startup image list to include only the boot image and system image. The modification ensures that the device can reboot correctly.

After the Comware system starts up, you can load feature and patch images. For more information, see the chapters about software upgrade and ISSU in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Load a system image and start the Comware system.

<boot> install load flash:/system.bin

dest-file: Specifies the name for the destination file, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters.

dest-directory: Specifies the name of the directory, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The system moves the file without changing the file name.

Usage guidelines

If a file in the destination directory is using the destination file name, the system prompts whether or not to overwrite the existing file. If you enter Y, the existing file is overwritten. If you enter N, the command is not executed.

Examples

# Move the config.cfg file to the flash:/test directory.

<boot>move flash:/config.cfg flash:/test/

Move flash:/config.cfg to flash:/test/config.cfg?[Y/N]:y
