Configuring Disks in a Two-Disk CSS Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software For example, to select the disk in slot 1 as the storage location for core dumps, enter: # map core 1 To return the storage location for core dumps back to boot disk, enter: # no map core Selecting a Disk for Logging The default storage location for log files is the disk from which the CSS boots (disk 0 or disk 1). For example, if the CSS boots from disk 0, then disk 0 becomes the default storage location for log files. Use the map log command to select the disk on which you want to store log files. Valid selections are 0 (disk in slot 0) and 1 (disk in slot 1). This command is available only in SuperUser mode. Note Logging to a CSS disk can cause the performance of the CSS to degrade. If logging requires frequent writes to disk (that is, several hundred log messages per day), we recommend that you log to a hard disk and store all other system files on a Flash disk. Although Flash disks generally provide the most reliable way to store information over time, hard disks endure frequent writes to disk better than the Flash disks currently available. For example, to select the disk in slot 1 as the storage location for log files, enter: # map log 1 To return the storage location of log files back to the boot disk, enter: # no map log 1-20 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02
