To clarify,<br>
<br>
the recovery disk primarily contains a basic kernel and fsck. A little
digging on linux shows the reason: you cannot run fsck against a
mounted volume. Well, you can because linux allows you to do most
anything, but it usually corrupts the partition even further. So the
recovery disk is basically a small livecd that boots a linux kernel and
runs fsck against partitions on the hard disk.<br>
<br>
AFAIK the recovery disk does not contain any RPMs, scripts, or other
binaries that would be copied from the recovery disk to the hard disk.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Thanks Adam,<br>
I'd just dive a bit deep into this to ask you a question:<br>
Let's say I have installed CCM 6.0.1 first. The RPM for IPTABLE was
used by
this install was iptable-6.0.1.<br>
I upgraded it using upgarde DVD to 6.1.3 and iptable package also
upgraded to
iptable 6.1.3(just for example).<br>
Assume, CCM 6.1.3 has been working for months without any issue. It's
suddenly
one of the weired day when customer called and ask all phones are
un-register
from CCM6.1.3. (unfortunately they only had 1 publisher and no backup).<br>
<br>
A technician goes to the site and sees CCM6.1.3 is no more booting.
It's
stucking on loading iptable blah module and doesn't go further. And he
decides
to use CCM6.0.1 recovery Disk.<br>
<br>
Now here is the question: since CCM was upgraded to ccm 6.1.3 and if he
uses
recovery disk version 6.0.1 to repair the currupt iptable package
(originally
shipped with the media):<br>
==> how would currupt iptable-6.1.3 be repaired by an old recovery
disk
(v6.0.1) containing older version of iptable6.0.1 ?<br>
<br>
PS: That could be CCM RPM version or Informix database RPMS, iptable is
just
for an example.<br>
<br>
I don't see any special repair disk for CCM 6.1(3). At least I can't
see it on
CCO.<br>
<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The recovery disk is mostly useful when you have
an

the file system pointers/inodes are corrupted and you are unable to
boot.<br>
There is an automatic filesystem recovery which has a chance to bring
you<br>
back, but usually it takes the manual repair.<br>

Subject: [cisco-voip] CCM6 or 7 recovery disk myth<br>
<br>
hi guys,<br>
has anyone used the "Recovery disk" supplied by Cisco with the CCM
media<br>
kit?<br>
I never had to use it so I am just wondering in what circumtances we<br>
need to use it?<br>
Also any inside would be appreciated - e.g. if it repairs RPM's then<br>
does it removes database or what?<br>
<br>
