Boot Configuration Mode Commands
Configuring the Passive SCM Primary Boot File
Use the passive primary boot-filecommand to specify the primary boot image for the passive SCM. Enter the filename of the primary boot image for the passive SCM as an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum length of
64 characters. To display a list of filenames, enter passive primary boot-file ?.
For example, enter:
(config-boot)#passive primary boot-file ap0500002
To remove the primary boot file from the passive SCM, enter:
(config-boot)#no passive primary boot-file
Configuring the Passive SCM Primary Boot Type
Use the passive primary boot-typecommand to specify the primary boot method, the local disk, FTP, or a network-mounted file system for the passive SCM. The syntax and options for this boot mode command are:
•passive primary boot-type boot-via-disk - Boot the system from local disk.
•passive primary boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Download an ADI file containing CSS software that you want to install on the IDM. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, copies it to the passive SCM, and unpacks it.
•passive primary boot-type boot-via-network ftp_record - Use FTP to boot the CSS from software located on a network-mounted file system on a remote system (such as a PC or UNIX workstation). The CSS boots independently from the passive SCM and loads the configuration into memory. Instead of the CSS disk, the network file system contains the CSS software.
Enter the ftp_record as the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces.
For example, enter:
(config-boot)#passive primary boot-type boot-via-ftp arecord
To remove the primary boot type from the passive SCM, enter:
(config-boot)#no passive primary boot-type
