3.1.2 USB storage device
The 7210 SAS platform supports the use of the USB interface as an alternate storage location that
provides a larger storage capacity than the internal flash. You can use a USB storage device to store
TiMOS images, configuration files, accounting records, and log files. The BOF can point to images on the
USB and you can use the USB to load TiMOS images and configuration files.
The following guidelines and caveats apply to the use of USB storage devices:
•
The option to load the boot loader (boot.tim) from a USB storage device is supported on all platforms
as described in this document.
• USB ports are supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except 7210 SAS-S
1/10GE.
• See the 7210 SAS Software Release Notes 22.x.Rx for a list of USB devices and capacities that are
supported on the 7210 SAS.
• When a USB device is unplugged or removed from the system, a major alarm is raised. The alarm can
be cleared using the shutdown command.
• The 7210 SAS auto detects the device type when any supported device is connected to the USB
interface. Only approved USB mass storage device and optical clip-on devices plugged in to the USB
port are recognized as valid devices. The use of unsupported devices generates error logs.
• Nokia recommends that the user should run the shutdown command before removing the USB storage
device.
3.1.3 Storage locations for accounting, logs, index file, and images
The default location for accounting records, logs, and others is set to point to cf1:\.
Note:
Nokia recommends you should not store frequently written objects such as accounting records,
system logs, and others on the internal flash (cf1:\), as it is non-replaceable. to store only
systems images, configuration files, persistence database, nvsys.info, and QoS SAP resource
map (the sdx file). Use the external flash (cf2:\) or use uf1:\ to store frequently written objects
(as applicable).
The following applies to storage locations on 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE,
7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 platforms:
• On the 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12, the default location for accounting records and
logs is set to cf1:\. The user can change it to either cf2:\ or uf1:\.
• If the license is purchased for the 7210 SAS-T and 7210 SAS-Mxp, these platforms are factory-shipped
with the boot.tim and the BOF on cf1:\. Nokia recommends that you should not move these files
from cf1:\ on these platforms.
