Procedure to boot from the image on flash in manual mode

About this task

Note:

This procedure is not supported for 7210 SAS platforms configured in the satellite mode of operation.

7210 SAS platforms that are factory-shipped with the boot.tim and both.tim (TiMOS image) on the internal flash attempt to boot using the auto-init mode when they are booted for the first time from factory. If the auto-init mode fails, the node loads with the image on the flash. If the user wants to continue using this image, they must connect to a console and execute the admin auto-init stop command in the TiMOS prompt. If the user does not execute this command, the device reboots and attempts the auto-init mode procedure again.

For the 7210 SAS-Dxp, 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T, 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-R12, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and 7210 SAS-T, the user must buy a software license that is factory-shipped with the TiMOS image on a flash or SD card device. The user must plug the flash or SD card device in the designated slot for the external flash or SD card device and power on the unit.

Note:

See the corresponding 7210 SAS chassis installation guide for information about equipment required to setup the device.

Perform the following steps to boot the system in the manual mode from the local image on the flash:

Procedure

Connect the 7210 SAS console port to the serial port of the PC, and power on the 7210 SAS device. The system starts booting and the following console output is displayed.
