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.
Logging to a CSS disk can cause the performance of the CSS to degrade. If
Note
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
