Deleting Switch Files
Page 7-5
Deleting All Image Files
You can use the imgcl command to delete all executable (image) files. The files deleted by
the imgcl command include the MPX boot file ( mpx.img ), and all executable switching module
files (the factory default is all files ending with the .img extension).
♦ Important ♦
You should only use the imgcl command during
network down times and when you are connected to
the switch through the serial port.
To use this command, enter
imgcl
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the one shown below will be displayed.
Remove the following?
/flash/esx.img
/flash/mpx.img
Are you sure you want to remove them? (n)
Press the y key to delete all the image files or press <Enter> to cancel. If you press the y key,
the switch will spend several minutes deleting the image files.
♦ Note ♦
If you want to delete all files in flash memory, you can
use the
newfs command, which is described in Creat-
ing a New File System on page 7-15.
After you have deleted all the old image files, you must load new image files using FTP or
ZMODEM so the switch can function. See Chapter 5, “Installing Switch Software,” for instruc-
tions on using the ftp and load commands.
