Procedure to boot from the network in manual mode using the OOB Ethernet management port

About this task

Note:

This procedure is not supported for 7210 SAS platforms configured in the satellite mode of operation. This procedure is supported on all 7210 SAS platforms that are equipped with an OOB Ethernet management port.

Perform the following steps to boot from the network using the OOB Ethernet management port without using the auto-init mode.

Procedure

  1. Power on the 7210 SAS device.
  2. Use the OOB Ethernet Management port to boot from the network.

       You specified a network location for either the 
       software or the configuration file. You need to 
       configure either eth-mgmt or uplinkA or uplinkB ports.
       You will be asked to configure the port number, IP(v6) address,
       static routes, and VLAN Id in case of uplink ports.
    
    Existing eth-mgmt port settings are:
       eth-mgmt-port        
       eth-mgmt-address    10.135.25.36/24

    Enter eth-mgmt  IP Address (Type 0 if none desired):
    
  11. At the prompt, enter the port IP address and mask that the device should use (for example, 10.135.4.172/10). The following console output is displayed.
    Example
    In case of an IPv6, the IPv6 address should be
       entered in standard colon hexadecimal notation
       with a prefix length.
           example:   3FFE::1/112
    
    Enter eth-mgmt  IPv6 Address (Type 0 if none desired):
    
  12. At the prompt, enter 0. The following console output is displayed.
    Example
    No eth-mgmt IPv6 Address configured
    
       You specified network locations which might require
       static routes to reach. You will be asked to
       enter static routes until all the locations become
       reachable.
       Static routes should be entered in the following format:
       prefix/mask next-hop ip-address
       example:     192.168.0.0/16 next-hop 192.168.1.254
    
    A static route to the Primary Image exists: 192.0.0.0/8 next-hop 10.135.25.1
    Do you want to keep it? (yes/no)
    
  13. At the prompt, enter no. The following console output is displayed.
