Boot Sets
SANbox SSP allows you to install two system images on the platform at once, and to choose which system image loads when the system boots. The two locations where system images can be installed are called boot sets.
A valid boot set is one that has been successfully installed with a system image. An invalid boot set is either empty or contains an image that cannot be used by SANbox SSP.
The default boot set, selected during system startup, supplies the system software that the SANbox SSP uses when booted. You can override this default selection from the local administrative console when the system starts. See "To select the active boot set from the local console:" below. The selected boot set is used to boot the system and becomes the active boot set; the boot set that was not selected is called the inactive boot set.
To select the active boot set from the local console:
1.Connect to the local administrative console using a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerm.
2.Start or reboot the system.
After the first phase of system initialization completes, output that is similar to the following displays:
