Configuring Disks in a Two-Disk CSS Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software 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. 1-16 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02
