The default location for accounting records, logs, and others is set to point to cf1:\.
Nokia recommends you should not store frequently written objects such as accounting records, system logs, and others on the internal flash (cf1:\), as it is non-replaceable. to store only systems images, configuration files, persistence database, nvsys.info, and QoS SAP resource map (the sdx file). Use the external flash (cf2:\) or use uf1:\ to store frequently written objects (as applicable).
The following applies to storage locations on 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 platforms:
On the 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12, the default location for accounting records and logs is set to cf1:\. The user can change it to either cf2:\ or uf1:\.
If the license is purchased for the 7210 SAS-T and 7210 SAS-Mxp, these platforms are factory-shipped with the boot.tim and the BOF on cf1:\. Nokia recommends that you should not move these files from cf1:\ on these platforms.
If the license is purchased for the 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12, these platforms are factory-shipped with the boot.tim and starter BOF on cf2:\. The user can choose to copy these files to the internal flash cf1:\, if need be.
The boot.tim and BOF can be stored on one of these locations: cf1:\ or cf2:\ or uf1:\. The bof.cfg is stored in the same location as the boot loader (boot.tim) used to boot the system. For example, if the boot loader (boot.tim) on cf2:\ is used to boot the system, the BOF created during auto-init or manual intervention during first-time boot will be created on cf2:\ and used subsequently.
TiMOS images (both.tim) can be stored in one of these locations: cf1:\ or cf2:\ or uf1:\, with appropriate configuration of the BOF (that is, primary, secondary, and tertiary locations pointing to the appropriate place).
The ndx and sdx files are generated at the location specified in the BOF parameter of the configuration file. If the user does not specify the location in the BOF, the ndx and sdx files are in the same location as the default configuration file. The default configuration file is created in the same location as the TiMOS image used to boot the system. For example, if no configuration file location is specified in the BOF and the TiMOS image (both.tim) located in uf1:\ is used to boot the system, the default configuration file, the index file, the sdx file, and nvsys.info file created on uf1:\ and used subsequently. If the user specifies cf2:\ as the location of the configuration file in the BOF, the configuration file, the index file, the sdx file, and nvsys.info file are created on cf2:\ and used subsequently.
