BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide
Initializing the hard disk in a single-disk configuration
The BCM system is normally initialized prior to shipment. If you replace the hard disk in a
standard single-disk system, the BCM system initializes the hard disk automatically to the default
values for network parameters, time zone, and market profile. After auto-initialization, you can
change the default values (see
“To initialize the hard disk in a single disk configuration” on page
281 ).
To initialize a RAID configuration, refer to “Initializing the hard disk in a RAID configuration” on
page 281 .
For further information on how to replace a hard disk in a standard configuration, refer to
“Replacing a hard disk in the hard disk cage” on page 273 . For further information on how to
monitor disk activity, refer to “System monitoring and troubleshooting” on page 223 .
After initialization, you should restore the configuration data to the BCM. Use the backup and
restore utility (BRU) to restore configuration data (see
“Using the backup and restore utility” on
page 256 ). Nortel recommends that you maintain a current configuration backup. If you do not
have a current backup, enter the configuration data manually.
To initialize the hard disk in a single disk configuration
1 After the BCM system reboots, the system initializes the hard disk automatically and restores
the default values.
2 To change the default values of the configuration parameters, perform the following tasks:
a Use the configuration menu to change the system IP address or perform other basic
configuration tasks (see
“To display the configuration menus” on page 188 ).
b Manually enter the values of the configuration parameters for your system (see
“Configuring the BCM system” on page 191 ).
3 Restore system and data information (except Telephony and Registry) from your backup data.
For information on how to restore data to your system from a backup, see
“Using the backup
and restore utility” on page 256 .
Initializing the hard disk in a RAID configuration
After replacing either of the hard disks in a RAID configuration, the new hard disk is initialized
automatically when the system is restarted. You do not need to perform specific initialization
procedures.
Note: When you replace a hard disk, IP configuration data is lost. The BCM system IP
address defaults to 10.10.10.1.
