Formatting the Disk Volume

After the system has booted the Oracle Communications product for the first time, the hard
disk must be formatted from the application. Remember that, at the chassis level, the disk
system must be presented as a single logical drive.
Note:
For systems without a separate boot flash, the format system-disk command
combines the /opt and /opt/crash into a single system partition. This includes all
systems other than the Acme Packet 4500, 4600, 6100 and 6300.

40GB or Less Format Plan

When formatting a 40 GB or smaller storage device, no data partitions are created. The
default partitioning scheme is as follows:
Table 9-1
Location
system partition
system partition

40GB or More Default Format Plan

When formatting a storage device larger than 40 GB, /mnt/sys and /mnt/app volumes are
created in the data partition. Their relative sizes are based on the drive's size.

40GB or More Custom Format Plan

You can customize the format plan when a storage device larger than 40 GB is installed in
your system. Before formatting the storage device, plan the number of volumes, volume
names, and relative percentage of storage device disk space. A maximum of 4 volumes in
the data partition are allowed.
System Default Format Plan (40 GB max):
