Verifying available flash space on the management module before an image is copied
3
For example, to create a subdirectory on the flash card inserted in slot 2, if the flash memory has
current management focus, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade# mkdir slot2 TEST
Syntax: [no] md | mkdir [slot1 | slot2] dir-name
You can enter either md or mkdir for the command name.
Specify the slot1 or slot2 keyword to create a subdirectory on the flash card in slot 1 or slot 2,
respectively. If you do not specify one of these parameters, the command applies to the file system
that currently has the management focus.
The dir-name parameter specifies the subdirectory name. You can enter a name that contains any
combination of the following characters. Do not enter a slash “ / ” in front of the name. Remember,
a file name preceded by a slash represents the absolute path name (/flash, /slot1, or /slot2).
• All upper and lowercase letters
• All digits
• Spaces
• Any of the following special characters:
• $
• %
• '
• -
• _
• @
• ~
• `
• !
• (
• )
• {
• }
• ^
• #
• &
You can use spaces in a subdirectory name if you enclose the name in double quotes. For example,
to specify a subdirectory name that contains spaces, enter a string such as the following: “a long
subdirectory name”.
A subdirectory name can be a maximum of 256 characters long. A complete subdirectory path
name cannot contain more than 260 characters.
The name is not case sensitive. You can enter upper- or lowercase letters, however the CLI displays
the name using uppercase letters.
To verify successful creation of the subdirectory, enter a command such as the following to change
to the new subdirectory level.
