解析度

NOTE: The procedure explained in this article is not applicable for switches running OS10.


Procedure:

We can use USB Storage to copy files in and out of the switch. Sometimes after formatting a USB storage device in windows in FAT32 might not get detected in Force10 Switch running an OS9 firmware version. As a workaround we can format the USB in Dell Force10 Switch running OS9. 

  1. Insert the USB (Pen drive) into the USB port.
  2. Run the command: 
format usbflash


CAUTION: Formatting a file device removes all files and directories on it. Hence, ensure to backup any files in the USB storage in some other location before proceeding.


Sample Output

FTOS#format usbflash:
Formatting a file device removes all files and directories on it.
Proceed to format the file device [confirm yes/no]: yes
Do not remove usbflash, device is being formatted!!

NOTE: The USB is Formatted in FAT32. A Secure or Encrypted USB that has the special partition may not work in the switch.
