Introduction

This document describes the layout of the Cisco MeetingPlace Server (PCI) and an explanation of the diskcopy command.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on MeetingPlace Server (PCI) Software version 4.x and earlier.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.

MeetingPlace Server

The MeetingPlace Server (PCI) consists of six drive slots. If you stand in front of the server, the drive slot farthest to your left is for the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) drive, and the one farthest to your right is for the diskette drive. The diskcopy command concerns only the four drive slots between the DAT drive and the diskette drive. There are three different types of drives that the MeetingPlace Server recognizes.

System Disk

All MeetingPlace Servers need a system disk. The location of this disk is next to the diskette drive, slot 1.

Database Disk

Database disks are only present in a MeetingPlace network or shadow server. The location of this disk is to the left of the system disk, slot 2.

Voice Disk

Voice disks are only present in MeetingPlace standalone or conference servers. The location of this disk is to the left of the system disk, slot 2.

diskcopy Command

The diskcopy command copies the complete content of one disk to another. The syntax is diskcopy type slot .

In this case, type is the type of disk for copy, and slot is the slot number of the source disk. There is no specification of the destination because the command is hard coded to use slot 4 as the destination drive.

There are three forms of the diskcopy command:

• diskcopy sys 1—Copies the system disk from slot 1 to slot 4

• diskcopy nsdb 2—Copies the database disk from slot 2 to slot 4

• diskcopy voice 2—Copies the voice disk from slot 2 to slot 4

The diskcopy command is very useful for a drive backup. Before you issue this command, keep these facts in mind:

• The size of the disk to which you copy cannot be smaller than the disk from which you copy.

• The destination drive is always slot 4.

• Always remember to issue the diskoptions command to install the newly copied disk.
