SX 2000 light 1

[saw164]

I am trying to make a copy of the hardisk on our Mitel SX-2000 by using the command VOL B SYSUSER ON RSD but I get an error about not enought reserved space. When i format the RSD disk, i use the command VOL F RSD DFULL LOAD $3500 Redun $4C00. What am i doing wrong? Everything i have read, nothing mentions needing to specify reserve space. Could i be getting this message because i have a redunant system?

Thanks for the help,

Scott

There are several issues with your question?

What is your Software Load?

The Qualifiers you are using is for systems Prior to Q-Stream. Released around 1998.

The qualifiers are typically only used when formatting the hard drive (Not the RSD)

The qualifiers for more recent loads are $8000 and $10000

The typical command for formatting a RSD are:

VOLume Format <RSD> <volume name> RES SCRatch

When you are using an RSD that has never been formatted, you must use the SCRATCH qualifier.

Sorry, i also tried the $8000 and $10000 with and without the scratch command. when i do a ver, it shows MS2012-F-NA-00 edition SX.t37.6, not sure if that is what you were asking for. In the manually it says if you are going to make a copy of your harddisk, you need to use the quilifiers load and redun. This i my first time attempting to do a full back up. I was able to get a back-up of the data, but i want a harddisk backup as well.

"VOLume Format <RSD> <volume name> RES SCRatch" - what is the RES used for?

I believe the RES part of that command sets up the reserve space that you mention in your first post.

Alternatively, instead of doing a full Vol Backup to the RSD, you can do a data save to it instead. However, that means to recover from a HD failure you'd have to first load the software from RSD to the HD, then set your license & options, then restore the database from the RSD.

So it looks like i was missing the res command when i was formatting the RSD Disk! I have the data already backed up, but it is exactly as you said Lundah i want the full vol backup so i don't have to load the software and stuff if the HD fails.

Thank you.

you dont use the 8000 and 10000 when formatting a rsd, that is to load the os.
just do vol format rsd XXXXX res
then do your vol backup.

so you dont mount it, then you just type
vol backup sysuser on rsd
then remember to reboot the controller after because it dismounts sysuser during the process

GX5Krocks, I almost said that exact same thing about not requiring the qualifiers for the RSD but the manual specifies that it is possible. That's why I modified my response to say "typically only used when formatting the hard drive"
