Chapter 5 Managing the ACE Software
Reformatting Flash Memory
–
If ACE-APPLIANCE-RECOVERY-IMAGE.bin is not present, the ACE
stops the Flash memory reformat because there is no image to boot after
format.
Before you reformat Flash memory, we recommend that
you copy the following
ACE operation and configuration files or objects to a remote server:
• ACE software image
• ACE license
• Startup-configuration file of each context
• Running-configuration file of each context
• Core dump files of each context
• Packet capture buffers of each context
• SSL certificate and key pair files of each context
See the “Co
pying Files” section for details on how to use the copy command to
save configuration files or objects, such as
the existing startup-configuration files,
running-configuration file, licenses, core dump files, or packet capture buffers, to
a remote FTP, SFTP, or TFTP server.
See the Cisco 47
00 Series Application Control Engine Appliance SSL
Configuration Guide for details on how to use the crypto export command to
export SSL certificate and key pair files to a remote FTP, SFTP, or TFTP server.
The syntax for the command is as follows:
format flash:
For example, to erase all information in Flash memory and reformat it, enter:
host1/Admin# format flash:
Warning!! This will erase everything in the compact flash
including
startup configs for all the contexts and reboot
the system!!
Do you wish to proceed anyway? (yes/no) [no] yes
