V-Switch 3000 Compact Flash

The V-Switch 3000 includes a compact flash for backing up the database to provide redundancy and for backing up the application before upgrading the software. The V-Switch 3000 has two permanent memory devices: flash and compact flash. The V-Switch can work with only the flash. When both are present, the V-Switch reads from the flash and can be set to write to both the flash and the compact flash. Use the CLI command system set to replicate the database from the flash on to the compact flash.

When set to replicate mode, the V-Switch copies the current database from the flash to the compact flash. Any configuration changes done to the database will automatically be updated to the compact flash as well.

system set

You need to define one parameter to set the replication mode:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-rep	REPLICATE	REPLICATION OF	MANDATORY	yes
		THE DATABASE	YES: REPLICATE
			NO: DO NOT
			REPLICATE

system set –rep yes

If the compact flash is removed while the V-Switch is in replicate mode, it will automatically switch to non-replicate mode, even if the compact flash is re-inserted. Repeat the command system set to return to replicate mode.

At initialization in replication mode, the V-Switch checks both copies of the database. If they are different, the V-Switch switches to non-replicate mode to prevent erasing the compact flash.

The V-Switch’s database, application and configuration files can also be copied from flash to compact flash or compact flash to flash. Use the CLI command system copy to copy each file type separately.

Use the CLI command system copy to copy a file between the flash and the compact flash.
