Boot Configuration Mode Commands

Configuring the Passive SCM Secondary Boot Type

Use the passive secondary boot-typecommand to boot the system using 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 secondary boot-type boot-via-disk - Boot the system from local disk.

passive secondary boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Download an ADI file containing CSS software that you want to install on the passive SCM. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, and unpacks it.

passive secondary 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 secondary boot-type boot-via-disk

To remove the secondary boot type from the passive SCM, enter:

(config-boot)#no passive secondary boot-type

Configuring the Passive SCM Secondary Configuration Path

Use the passive secondary config-pathcommand to specify the secondary alternate path to a network configuration for the network boot method for the passive SCM. An alternate configuration path allows multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in separate directories. The CSS must be able to access the configuration path through an FTP server (such as a PC or UNIX workstation) as defined through the FTP record for the network boot method.
