Configuring Disks in a Two-Disk CSS
The CSS 11501 and the Switch Control Module (SCM) in the CSS 11503 and
CSS 11506 contain two PCMCIA slots for a hard disk or Flash disk. These disks
contain the CSS system software and are used for logging and storing offline
system files. The two disks are identified by the PCMCIA slots (slot 0 and slot 1)
in which they are installed. Disk 0 is the default storage location for the primary
and secondary boot records in the CSS. The default storage location for log files
and core dumps in the CSS is the specified disk from which the CSS boots (disk 0
or disk 1).
In addition to specifying the file storage locations, you can also:
• Format the disks
• Copy information such as the scripts, archives, or startup configuration from
one disk to the other disk
• Display the mapping configuration of the two disks in slot 0 and slot 1
• Display the specified archive, log, script, or startup configuration file stored
on a specific disk
• Delete a specific file (startup configuration, logs, scripts, or archive file)
stored on a specific disk
This section includes the following topics:
• Formatting a Disk
• Specifying a Disk for Booting, Logging, and Core Dumps
• Copying Files Between Disks
• Showing the Disk Mapping Configurations
• Showing Files from a Disk
• Clearing Files from a Disk
As an alternate procedure for configuring disks from the CLI, you can use the
Advanced Options menu of the Offline DM menu to reformat or set the disk
mapping for the disks in slots 0 and 1. Refer to Appendix B, Using the Offline
Diagnostic Monitor Menu, for details.
