Specifying a Disk for Booting, Logging, and Core Dumps, Selecting a Disk for the Primary Boot Record

Page 52 highlights

Configuring Disks in a Two-Disk CSS Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software Specifying a Disk for Booting, Logging, and Core Dumps By default, 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 is the specified disk from which the CSS boots (disk 0 or disk 1). Use the map commands to specify the disk (slot 0 or slot 1) that the CSS uses to store the primary boot record, the secondary boot record, the logging output file, and core dumps. You can mix and match the storage location of these files between the two disks. For example, you can store the primary boot record on disk 0 and the secondary boot record on disk 1, and redirect the storage of output logs and core dumps to disk 1. The syntax for this global configuration mode command is: map [core|log|primary-boot|secondary-boot] disk_slot The options for the map command are as follows: • core - Specifies the disk that contains the core dumps • log - Specifies the disk that contains the logging output • primary-boot - Specifies the disk that contains the primary boot record • secondary-boot - Specifies the disk that contains the secondary boot record Use the no form of each command to remove mapping to the specified disk and return the setting to the default disk. Selecting a Disk for the Primary Boot Record Disk 0 is the default storage location for the primary boot record 0. Valid selections are 0 (for the disk in slot 0) and 1 (for the disk in slot 1). Use the map primary-boot command to select the disk that contains the primary boot record of the CSS. This command is available only in SuperUser mode. For example, to select the disk in slot 1 as the storage location for the primary boot record, enter: # map primary-boot 1 1-18 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02

Configuring Disks in a Two-Disk CSS

Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide
OL-5647-02
Specifying a Disk for Booting, Logging, and Core Dumps
By default, 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
is the specified disk from which the CSS boots (disk 0 or disk 1). Use the
map
commands to specify the disk (slot 0 or slot 1) that the CSS uses to store the
primary boot record, the secondary boot record, the logging output file, and core
dumps.
You can mix and match the storage location of these files between the two disks.
For example, you can store the primary boot record on disk 0 and the secondary
boot record on disk 1, and redirect the storage of output logs and core dumps to
disk 1.
The syntax for this global configuration mode command is:
map
[
core
|
log
|
primary-boot
|
secondary-boot
]
disk_slot
The options for the
map
command are as follows:
core
- Specifies the disk that contains the core dumps
log
- Specifies the disk that contains the logging output
primary-boot
- Specifies the disk that contains the primary boot record
secondary-boot
- Specifies the disk that contains the secondary boot record
Use the
no
form of each command to remove mapping to the specified disk and
return the setting to the default disk.
Selecting a Disk for the Primary Boot Record
Disk 0 is the default storage location for the primary boot record 0. Valid
selections are 0 (for the disk in slot 0) and 1 (for the disk in slot 1). Use the
map
primary-boot
command to select the disk that contains the primary boot record
of the CSS. This command is available only in SuperUser mode.
For example, to select the disk in slot 1 as the storage location for the primary boot
record, enter:
#
map primary-boot 1
