Using MPM Commands with Software Release 3.2 and Later

In Release 3.2 and later, the commands in the

mpm

menu support the use of more than one

flash directory. Since more than one flash directory can exist, you must indicate which flash
directory you want to use when you access a secondary

MPX

from a primary

MPX

and when

you access a primary

MPX

from a secondary

MPX

. All of these commands begin with the

prefix

mpm

and are listed below.

mpmstore

mpmreplace

mpmload

mpmrm

mpmget

To indicate which flash directory you want to use, enter a slash (

/

), the name of the direc-

tory, and another slash (

/

) before the file name in all commands that begin with the prefix

mpm

. For example, to transfer the

asm.img

file from the

/simm

directory on the secondary

MPX

to the primary

MPX

when you have logged into the secondary

MPX

, enter

mpmget /simm/asm.img

at the system prompt.

Important Note

In the current release, you must indicate the name of
the flash directory in commands that begin with the
prefix

mpm

even if you have just one flash directory on

both

MPXs

.
