Volumes Tab

The Volumes tab lets you:

format read/write drives

create directories

set the server home page path

Formatting Read/Write Drives

You can format the internal ZIP and external read/write SCSI drives using the Volumes tab.

To format a read/write (SCSI) drive:

1. Select the Volume you want to format from the Volume drop-down list.
2. Enter a new volume name in the Label field. The volume name must start with a character from A-Z and may have from 1-8 characters. It may not contain spaces.
3. Click Format. The media is formatted with 8K clusters and is now ready to use in your Micro Webserver.

Creating Directories

You can use the configuration utility to create directories on any read/write media supported by the Micro Webserver:

To create a directory on a read/write (SCSI) drive:

1. Select the Volume where you want to create a directory from the Volume drop-down list.
2. Enter the path that you want to create in the Path field. You can browse to find the parent path by clicking Browse and append the new directory onto the path name in the Path field.
3. Click Create Dir to create the directory.

Setting the Server Home Page

You may want to change the home page file that is accessed when the Micro Webserver is first accessed. The default home page path is /1/Cisco. You can change this path to identify a directory where your site-specific server home page is located. For example, if you are using a SCSI drive, the performance is significantly faster if you put the home page on the SCSI drive.

To set the server home page:

1. Create a new directory for the home page such as /1/serverhome.
2. Copy the new server home page (index.html) to the Micro Webserver to /1/serverhome.
3. Select the Volume where the Cisco Home Page resides from the Volume drop-down list.
4. Enter the path (/1/serverhome) for the Cisco Home page in the Cisco Home field. You can also browse to locate the path by clicking Browse.

Note If you want to be able to access the Configuration Utility from the home page, you must copy the directory /1/cisco/config and all of its subdirectories to the directory /1/serverhome/config.
