IBM N2800e manual Recovering the image on the peer-booted workstation

Page 38

Do not exit the Configuration Tool at this time, as you will need to perform the procedure, “Disabling peer flash recovery on a workstation” on page 29 from this menu later.

7.Continue with the procedure, “Recovering the image on the peer-booted workstation”.

Recovering the image on the peer-booted workstation

The second step of peer flash recovery is recovering the image on the peer-booted workstation. The peer-booted workstation is the workstation whose flash image you are recovering. Follow these steps to recover the image:

1.Power on the peer-bootedworkstation.

2.Press Esc immediately after the following message disappears:

Hardware testing in progress . . .

3.Press a key to continue.

4.Follow the on-screen directions until you see the Advanced configuration menu (MENU03).

5.Select Configure network settings.

6.Press Enter to continue.

7.Set Boot file source to Network.

8.Verify that the following values are correct for your IP configuration:

vWorkstation IP Address

vGateway IP Address

vSubnet Mask

9.Press Enter to continue.

10.Under Boot file server IP address, specify the IP address of the flash-booted workstation as the First option.

11.Under Boot file server directory and file name, specify the path and file name of the recovery kernel as the First option.

The following is an example of a probable path and file name:

/kernel.2200

12.Under Boot file server protocol, set NFS to First.

13.Press F3 to save your settings and return to the Advanced Configuration menu.

14.Press F10 to reboot the workstation.

After the flash-booted workstation successfully updates the flash image of the peer-booted workstation, the Configuration Tool appears on the display.

Note: The flash-booted workstation might take as long as 10 minutes to update the CompactFlash card of the peer-booted workstation. Do not power off either workstation during this time.

15.Use the Simple configuration menu of the Setup Utility to restore the workstation’s settings.

For information on using the Setup Utility, see “Using the Setup Utility to configure the workstation” on page 11.

16.Continue with the procedure, “Disabling peer flash recovery on a workstation” on page 29.
