File system management

This chapter provides information about file system management.

Topics in this chapter include:

The file system

The 7705 SAR file system is used to store files used and generated by the system; for example, image files, configuration files, logging files, and accounting files.

The file commands allow you to copy, create, move, and delete files and directories, navigate to a different directory, and display file or directory contents and the image version.

Compact flash device

The file system is based on a DOS file system. On the 7705 SAR, each CSM has an integrated compact flash device. The names for these devices are:

  • cf3:

  • cf3-A:

  • cf3-B:

The first device name above (cf3:) is a relative device name in that it refers to the device local to the control processor on the CSM running the current console session. As in the DOS file system, the colon (‟:”) at the end of the name indicates that it is a device.

The second and third device names (cf3-A: and cf3-B:) are absolute device names that refer directly to the device on CSM A or CSM B (CSM B applies only to chassis with redundant CSMs).

The device cf3-B: does not apply to the following chassis because they do not have redundant CSMs:

  • 7705 SAR-A

  • 7705 SAR-Ax

  • 7705 SAR-M

  • 7705 SAR-H

  • 7705 SAR-Hc

  • 7705 SAR-Wx

  • 7705 SAR-X

Note:

  • The 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2, 7705 SAR-18, 7705 SAR-H, and 7705 SAR-M have removable compact flash cards.

  • The 7705 SAR-A, 7705 SAR-Ax, 7705 SAR-Hc, and 7705 SAR-Wx do not have removable compact flash cards; they are shipped with integrated memory that is used to store system boot software, OS software, and configuration files and logs.

  • The 7705 SAR-X has two removable compact flash cards but they are not field-replaceable. Replacement of the devices is done as a repair service.

On the 7705 SAR-18, cf3: is used to store the software image required for system startup and operation, including the application load. The 7705 SAR-18 CSM also has two optional compact flash slots for two compact flash devices (cf1: and cf2:). These compact flash devices are also referred to as cf1-A:/cf1-B: and cf2-A:/cf2-B: to indicate whether they are on CSM A or CSM B. All the compact flash devices can be used to store software upgrades, statistics, logging files, accounting files, scripts, and configuration data.

Note: To prevent corruption of open files in the file system, compact flashes should be removed on those chassis that have replaceable compact flash cards only when the CFs are administratively shut down. The 7705 SAR gracefully closes any open files on the device so that it can be safely removed.

URLs

The arguments for the 7705 SAR file commands are modeled after the standard universal resource locator (URL).

A URL can refer to a file (a file-url) or a directory (a directory-url).

The 7705 SAR supports operations on both the local file system and on remote files. For the purposes of categorizing the applicability of commands to local and remote file operations, URLs are divided into three types of URLs: local, FTP, and TFTP

The syntax for each of the URL types is listed in the following table.

Table 1. URL types and syntax

The 7705 SAR accepts either forward slash (‟/”) or backslash (‟\”) characters to delimit directory and/or filenames in URLs. Similarly, the 7705 SAR SCP client application uses either slash or backslash characters, but not all SCP clients treat backslash characters as equivalent to slash characters. In particular, UNIX systems interpret the backslash character as an ‟escape” character. This causes problems when using an external SCP client application to send files to the 7705 SAR SCP server. If the external system treats the backslash like an escape character, the backslash delimiter gets stripped by the parser and is not transmitted to the 7705 SAR SCP server.

For example, a destination directory specified as ‟cf3:\dir1\file1” is transmitted to the 7705 SAR SCP server as ‟cf3:dir1file1” where the backslash escape characters are stripped by the SCP client system before transmission. On systems where the client treats the backslash like an ‟escape” character, a double backslash ‟\\” or the forward slash ‟/” can typically be used to properly delimit directories and the filename.

Wildcards

The 7705 SAR supports the standard DOS wildcard characters. The asterisk (*) can represent zero or more characters in a string of characters, and the question mark (?) can represent any one character.

Example: 

ALU-1>file cf3:\ # copy test*.cfg siliconvalley
     cf3:\testfile.cfg
     1 file(s) copied.
     ALU-1>file cf3:\ # cd siliconvalley
     ALU-1>file cf3:\siliconvalley\ # dir
      Volume in drive cf3 on slot A has no label.
     Directory of cf3:\siliconvalley\
     05/10/2006 11:32p      <DIR>          .
     05/10/2006 11:14p      <DIR>          ..
     05/10/2006 11:32p                7597 testfile.cfg
          1 File(s)                   7597 bytes.
          2 Dir(s)                 1082368 bytes free.
     ALU-1>file cf3:\siliconvalley\ #

As in a DOS file system, the 7705 SAR wildcard characters can only be used in some of the file commands.

Common configuration tasks

The following sections describe the basic system tasks that can be performed.

Modifying file attributes

The system administrator can change the read-only attribute in the local file. Enter the attrib command with no options to display the contents of the directory and the file attributes.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to modify file attributes:

CLI Syntax:
file> 
    attrib [+r | -r] file-url

The following displays an example of the command syntax:

Example:
# file
file cf3:\ # attrib 
file cf3:\ # attrib +r BOF.SAV
file cf3:\ # attrib

The following displays the file configuration:

     ALU-1>file cf3:\ # attrib
     cf3:\bootlog.txt
     cf3:\bof.cfg
     cf3:\boot.ldr
     cf3:\bootlog_prev.txt
     cf3:\BOF.SAV
ALU-1>file cf3:\ # attrib +r BOF.SAV
     ALU-1>file cf3:\ # attrib
     cf3:\bootlog.txt
     cf3:\bof.cfg
     cf3:\boot.ldr
     cf3:\bootlog_prev.txt
     R cf3:\BOF.SAV

Creating and navigating directories

Use the md command to create a new directory in the local file system, one level at a time.

Use the cd command to navigate to different directories.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to create a new directory:

CLI Syntax:
file> 
    md file-url

The following displays an example of the command syntax:

Example:
file cf3:\ # md test1
file cf3:\ # cd test1
file cf3:\test1\ # md test2
file cf3:\test1\ # cd test2
file cf3:\test1\test2\ # md test3
file cf3:\test1\test2\ # cd test3
file cf3:\test1\test2\test3 #

Copying files

Use the copy command to upload or download an image file, configuration file, or other file types to or from a flash card or a TFTP server.

The scp command copies files between hosts on a network. It uses SSH for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as SSH.

The source file for the scp command must be local. The file must reside on the 7705 SAR router. The destination file must be in the format: user@host:file-name. The destination does not need to be local.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to copy files:

CLI syntax:
file> 
    copy source-file-url dest-file-url [force]
    scp local-file-url destination-file-url [router router name | service-id] [force]

The following displays an example of the copy command syntax:

Example:
     ALU-1>file cf3::\ # copy 104.cfg cf3::\test1\test2\test3\test.cfg
     ALU-1>file cf3::\ # scp file1 admin@192.168.x.x:cf3::\file1 
     ALU-1>file cf3::\ # scp file2 user2@192.168.x.x:/user2/file2 
     ALU-1>file cf3::\ # scp cf3::/file3 admin@192.168.x.x:cf3::\file3

Moving files

Use the move command to move a file or directory from one location to another.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to move files:

CLI Syntax:
file> 
   move old-file-url new-file-url [force]

The following displays an example of the command syntax:

Example:
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\test3\ # move test.cfg cf3::\test1
     cf3::\test1\test2\test3\test.cfg
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\test3\ # cd ..
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\ # cd ..
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ # dir

 Directory of cf3::\test1\
     05/04/2006 07:58a      <DIR>          .
     05/04/2006 07:06a      <DIR>          ..
     05/04/2006 07:06a      <DIR>          test2
     05/04/2006 07:58a               25278 test.cfg
      1 File(s)                  25278 bytes.
      3 Dir(s)                 1056256 bytes free.
 ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ #

Deleting files and removing directories

Use the delete and rd commands to delete files and remove directories. Directories can be removed even if they contain files and/or subdirectories. To remove a directory that contains files or subdirectories or both, use the rd rf command. When files or directories are deleted, they cannot be recovered.

The force option deletes the file or directory without prompting the user to confirm.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to delete files and then remove directories:

CLI syntax:
file> 
   delete file-url [force]
   rd file-url [force]

The following displays an example of the command syntax:

ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ # delete test.cfg
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ # delete abc.cfg
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\ # cd test3
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\test3\ # cd ..
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\ # rd test3
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\test2\ # cd ..
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ # rd test2
ALU-1>file cf3::\test1\ # cd ..
ALU-1>file cf3::\ # rd test1
ALU-1>file cf3::\ #

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to remove a directory without first deleting files or subdirectories:

CLI syntax:
file> 
   rd file-url rf

Displaying directory and file information

Use the dir command to display a list of files on a file system.

Use the type command to display the contents of a file.

Use the version command to display the version of a 7705 SAR both.tim file.

Use the CLI syntax displayed below to display directory and file information:

CLI syntax:
file> 
   dir [file-url]
   type file-url
   version file-url

The following displays an example of the command syntax: 

A:ALU-1# file
A:ALU-1>file cf3::\ # dir 

 Volume in drive cf3: on slot A has no label.

 Volume in drive cf3: on slot A is formatted as FAT32.

Command descriptions

Configuration commands

file
Syntax

file

Context

root

Description

This command enters the context to perform file system operations.

When entering the file context, the prompt changes to reflect the present working directory. Navigating the file system with the cd .. command results in a changed prompt.

The exit all command leaves the file system/file operation context and returns to the <ROOT> CLI context. The state of the present working directory is maintained for the CLI session. Entering the file command returns the cursor to the working directory where the exit command was issued.

attrib
Syntax

attrib [+r | -r] file-url

attrib

Context

file

Description

This command sets or clears/resets the read-only attribute for a file in the local file system.

To list all files and their current attributes, enter attrib or attrib x where x is either the filename or a wildcard (*).

When an attrib command is entered to list a specific file or all files in a directory, the file’s attributes are displayed with or without an ‟R” preceding the filename. The ‟R” implies that the +r is set and that the file is read-only. Files without the ‟R” designation imply that the -r is set and that the file is read-write-all. For example:

     ALU-1>file cf3:\ # attrib
               cf3:\bootlog.txt
               cf3:\bof.cfg
               cf3:\boot.ldr
               cf3:\sr1.cfg
               cf3:\test
               cf3:\bootlog_prev.txt
          R    cf3:\BOF.SAV
Parameters
file-url

the URL for the local file (see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions)

+r

sets the read-only attribute on the specified file

-r

clears/resets the read-only attribute on the specified file

cd
Syntax

cd [file-url]

Context

file

Description

This command displays or changes the current working directory in the local file system.

Parameters
file-url

the URL for the local file (see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions)

<none>

displays the current working directory

..

signifies the parent directory. This can be used in place of an actual directory name in a directory-url.

directory-url

the destination directory

copy
Syntax

copy source-file-url dest-file-url [force]

Context

file

Description

This command copies a file or all files in a directory from a source URL to a destination URL. At least one of the specified URLs should be a local URL. The optional wildcard (*) can be used to copy multiple files that share a common (partial) prefix and/or (partial) suffix.

When a file is copied to a destination with the same filename, the original file is overwritten by the new file specified in the operation. The following prompt appears if the destination file already exists:

‟Overwrite destination file (y/n)?”

For example:

To copy a file named srcfile in a directory called test on cf3: in slot CSM B to a file called destfile in a directory called production on cf3: in slot CSM A, the syntax is:

file cf3:\ # copy cf3-B:/test/srcfile cf3-A:/production/destfile

To FTP a file named 121201.cfg in directory mydir stored on cf3: in slot CSM A to a network FTP server with IP address 192.0.2.255 in a directory called backup with a destination filename of 121201.cfg, the FTP syntax is:

copy cf3-A:/mydir/121201.cfg 192.0.2.255.79/backup/121201.cfg
Parameters
source-file-url

the location of the source file or directory to be copied (see file-url)

dest-file-url

the destination of the copied file or directory (see file-url)

force

forces an immediate copy of the files without displaying a user prompt message

file-url

delete
Syntax

delete file-url [force]

Context

file

Description

This command deletes the specified file.

The optional wildcard ‟*” can be used to delete multiple files that share a common (partial) prefix and/or (partial) suffix. When the wildcard is entered, the following prompt displays for each file that matches the wildcard:

‟Delete file <filename> (y/n)?”

Parameters
file-url

the filename to delete (see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions)

force

forces an immediate deletion of the specified files

file delete * force deletes all the wildcard matching files without displaying a user prompt message

‟Are you sure (y/n)?”

The destination must specify a user and a host.

Parameters
local-file-url

the local source file or directory (see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions)

destination-file-url

the destination file (see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions)

router-instance

specifies the router name or service ID

Values

router-name: Base, management

service-id: 1 to 2147483647

Default

Base

service-name

specifies the service name, 64 characters maximum

force

forces an immediate copy of the specified file

file scp local-file-url destination-file-url [router router-instance | service-name service-name] force executes the command without displaying a user prompt message

shutdown
Syntax

[no] shutdown [active] [standby]

[no] shutdown flash-id

Context

file

Description

This command shuts down (unmounts) the specified CSMs.

Use the no shutdown [active] [standby] command to enable one or both CSMs.

Use the no shutdown flash-id command to enable a compact flash (cf3: on all platforms; cf1: or cf2: on the 7705 SAR-18) on the CSM. The no shutdown command can be issued for a specific slot when no compact flash is present. When a compact flash is installed in the slot, the device is activated upon detection.

In redundant systems, use the no shutdown command on cf3: on both CSMs in order to facilitate synchronization. See the synchronize command in the config>redundancy context.

The shutdown command must be issued before removing a compact flash. If no parameters are specified, the drive referred to by the current working directory shuts down.

LED status indicators — the following states are possible for the compact flash:

Operational: If a compact flash is present in a drive and operational (no shutdown), the respective LED is lit green. The LED flickers when the compact flash is accessed. Do not remove the compact flash during a read/write operation.

State: admin = up, operational = up, equipped

Flash defective: If a compact flash is defective, the respective LED blinks amber to reflect the error condition and a trap is raised.

State: admin = up/down, operational = faulty, equipped = no

Flash drive shut down: When the compact flash drive is shut down and a compact flash is present, the LED is lit amber. In this state, the compact flash can be ejected.

State: admin = down, operational = down, equipped = yes

No compact flash present, drive shut down: If no compact flash is present and the drive is shut down, the LED is unlit.

State: admin = down, operational = down, equipped = no

No compact flash present, drive enabled: If no compact flash is present and the drive is not shut down, the LED is unlit.

State: admin = up, operational = down, equipped = no

Ejecting a compact flash: The compact flash drive should be shut down before ejecting a compact flash. The LED should turn to solid (not blinking) amber. This is the only way to safely remove the compact flash. If a compact flash drive is not shut down before a compact flash is ejected, the LED blinks amber for approximately 5 s before shutting off.

State: admin = down, operational = down, equipped = yes

The shutdown or no shutdown state is not saved in the configuration file. Following a reboot, all compact flash drives are in their default state.

Default

no shutdown — compact flash device is administratively enabled

Parameters
cflash-id

the compact flash slot ID to be shut down or enabled. If a cflash-id is specified, the drive is shut down or enabled. If no cflash-id is specified, the drive referred to by the current working directory is assumed. If a slot number is not specified, the active CSM is assumed.

Values

see URL types and syntax for parameter descriptions and values

active

all drives on the active CSM are shut down or enabled

standby

all drives on the standby CSM are shut down or enabled

If both active and standby keywords are specified, all drives on both CSMs are shut down or enabled.
