Using The Mkdir Command - Cisco 7304 Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 6 Working with a CompactFlash Disk
Note You might need to copy a new image to a CompactFlash Disk whenever a new Cisco IOS software
release or a new Cisco IOS software maintenance release becomes available. You can use the copy
command for this purpose.
Use the following procedure to copy a file (called new.image in this example) located on a
CompactFlash Disk—called disk0:—to the CompactFlash Disk—called bootdisk:
If the CompactFlash Disk is unformatted or has been formatted on another possibly incompatible
Step 1
system, format it now using the procedure in the
appropriate.
To copy the image new.image to CompactFlash Disk disk0:, use the following series of commands:
Step 2
System> enable
Password:
System# copy disk0:new.image bootdisk:new.image
3393 bytes copied in 0.548 secs#
System#
In the preceding example, the 3393-byte file new.image was copied to the CompactFlash Disk in
approximately one-half second.
Step 3 Verify that the file new.image is now on the CompactFlash Disk:
System# pwd
disk0:/
System# dir
Directory of disk0:/
1
48755200 bytes total (48747008 bytes free)
System#

Using the mkdir Command

To create a directory on the CompactFlash Disk, use the mkdir command. The following example shows
how to create a directory called daily_dir on the CompactFlash Disk, and then verify that it was created:
System# mkdir disk0:daily_dir
Created dir disk0:daily_dir
System# dir
Directory of disk0:/
1
48755200 bytes total (48751104 bytes free)
System#
If you create a directory and place a file in it that you plan to access or use later, be sure to define the
Note
entire directory path to the file as you enter the appropriate software commands.
