Is it possible to exclude certain files during flash clean up ?
A. Yes you can update the list of files that need to be excluded for flash clean up for certain switch types. Before distributing the software image to a device, RME Software Management executes an erase flash command on the device so that the flash on the device is cleaned up. This is done to ensure that there is enough memory space on the device for the new image. During execution of erase flash, certain configuration files are also deleted. This leads to a lot of issues. So to overcome this issue flash erase operation is not performed instead deletion of files are done. You can provide the files to be excluded from deletion in the FlashFilesDelExcludeList.txt file. This file is available in the following location: NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\conf\swim You can use this text file to include those files that need to be excluded by RME Software Management while cleaning up space in flash. There are certain files that are excluded by default. They are: –vlan.dat –config.text –
