Software Rollback
Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches (in both standalone and stacked configurations) to return to a prior “last known good” version of software in the event of a system software problem. The switch controls software rollback through its resilient directory structure design (i.e., /flash/working and /flash/certified).
For detailed information on the software rollback feature, as well as the switch’s /flash/working and /flash/certified directories, refer to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide.
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing back up power supplies, as well as uplink modules and MiniGBICs, without powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the switch or stack. This feature greatly facilitates hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to easily replace components in the unlikely event of hardware failure. The following hardware components can be hot swapped:
