Auxiliary flash card file system
The Auxiliary flash card file system is hierarchical, which means that it supports subdirectories.
Therefore, you can create or delete subdirectories in this file system using the md/mkdir and
rd/rmdir commands, respectively. Also, when specifying the syntax for the various file management
commands, you may need to specify a pathname to a subdirectory as appropriate to manipulate a
file in a subdirectory.
Auxiliary flash card subdirectories
The full path name for the location of a file can be a maximum of 256 characters. You can nest
subdirectories as deep as you want as long as the full path name is 256 characters or less.
When you include a subdirectory path in a file management command, use a slash between each
level. For example, to create a subdirectory for flash code and copy a flash image file to the
subdirectory, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade# mkdir slot1 /switchCode/initial-release
These commands create two levels of subdirectories on the flash card in Auxiliary flash slot 1.
File and subdirectory naming conventions
The Auxiliary flash slots supports file names of up to 32 characters. File names are not case
sensitive. Thus, the software considers the name “test.cfg” and “TEST.CFG” to be the same.
Files and subdirectory names can be up to 32 characters long, including spaces and the special
characters listed. The following characters are valid in file and subdirectory names:
•
All upper and lowercase letters
•
All digits
•
Spaces
•
Any of the following special characters:
•
$
•
%
•
'
•
-
•
_
