Manually configuring nodes to boot as CPM-IMM in a VC

About this task

The CPM-IMM nodes are configured through the BOF and do not require further configuration to be part of the VC. Perform the following steps to manually boot and configure CPM-IMM nodes in a VC:

Procedure

Identify the two nodes that will take on the CPM role.
Ensure there is console access to the CPM nodes to drive the boot process.
See the following for information: Procedure to connect to a console, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE console port, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE console port.
Ensure the CPM nodes are powered on.
Ensure that the SD card delivered with the software license containing the boot loader (boot.tim) and TiMOS software is installed in the SD card slot.
Manually interrupt the boot process at the boot loader BOF prompt and configure the following:
1. Specify standalone-vc for the chassis-role parameter.
2. Specify a name for the vc-stack-name parameter.
3. Specify cpm-imm for the vc-stack-node-type parameter.
4. Specify the slot number and MAC address for CPM A and CPM B in the vc-stack-node parameter.
5. Specify the IP prefix information for the active and standby options in the eth-mgmt-address parameter.
Configure other BOF parameters such as image location, configuration file location, and route information, similar to a 7210 SAS node operating in the standalone mode.
See System boot options for 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE in standalone mode for information.

You can get the TiMOS image (both.tim) for the CPM-IMM nodes from the local SD card or through the network by specifying the primary/secondary/tertiary image locations appropriately.

Example

The following output is an example of a CPM-IMM node configuration.
