Procedure to boot from the network in manual mode using uplink ports

About this task

Note:

This procedure is supported on all 7210 SAS platforms, except the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, and all platforms configured in the satellite mode of operation.

Perform this procedure to boot a 7210 SAS device from the network without using the auto-init mode.

Note:

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

The front panel ports (referred to as uplinkA and uplinkB in the sample output used in this procedure) are used to boot the device from the network.

Note:

Nokia recommends that the TiMOS image should be stored on the internal flash so that it is available for use in the case where booting the system from the flash is required later on subsequent reboot.

Perform the following steps to boot from the network in the manual mode using uplink ports.

Procedure

Power on the 7210 SAS device.

Use the uplink ports to boot from the network.
