synchronize
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 2123
synchronize
synchronize
Description
Replicates all saved images and configurations from the master MSM to the slave MSM on the
BlackDiamond.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Usage Guidelines
This command does the following:
1 Copy both the primary and secondary software images
2 Copy both the primary and secondary configurations
3 Copy the BootROM
4 Reboot the slave MSM
When you install a slave MSM, you are not prompted to synchronize the images and the configurations
from the master. If not synchronized, the slave uses its image and the master’s configuration. This
image/configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently after failover. Use the
synchronize
command to replicate all saved images and configurations from the master to the slave.
However, if one of the configurations on the master MSM is empty, the sync process will not overwrite
the corresponding configuration on the slave. If the configuration on the slave MSM is an older
configuration, this can cause problems if the switch is rebooted using the outdated configuration.
This command does not replicate the run-time configuration. You must use the
save
command to store
the run-time configuration first.
Example
The following command replicates all saved images and configurations from the master MSM to the
slave MSM:
