Chapter 4 Device Configurations and Software Images Global Settings and Administration
File Locations Full pathname of directories where images are stored when they are being imported into the
Prime Network image repository, or when they are being transferred out of the repository to devices.
New directories must be empty and have the proper permissions (read, write, and execute perm issions
for users).
The entries must be full pathnames. In the following default locations, PRIME_NETWORK_HOME
is the Prime Network installation directory, normally /export/home/network-user; where network-user
is the operating system user for the Prime Network application and an example of network-user is
network39.
Staging Directory Location where images from the Prime Network image repository are placed
before transferring them out to devices. The default is
PRIME_NETWORK_HOME/NCCMComponents/NEIM/staging/.
Storing Directory Location where images from an outside source are placed before imp orting them
into the Prime Network image repository (from Cisco.com, from existing
devices, or from another file system). The default is
PRIME_NETWORK_HOME/NCCMComponents/NEIM/images/.
