Disaster recovery partitions details
There are two partitions in NCS 1010: RP SSD (CPU partition) and chassis SSD (Disaster Recovery partition). The Disaster Recovery partition contains all the backup configurations such as ISO images, RPMs, and system configuration files. When the node is corrupted, the Disaster Recovery feature allows the CPU to be replaced with the existing configuration. After replacing the CPU, the node reboots and comes up by restoring the software and configuration files from the chassis SSD without traffic loss.
