Configuring the Passive SCM Secondary Boot Type
Use the passive secondaryboot-type command to boot the systemusing the local
disk, FTP, or a network-mounted file system for the passive SCM. The syntax and
options for this boot mode command are:
• passive secondary boot-type boot-via-disk - Boot the system from local
disk.
• passive secondary boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Download an ADI
file containing CSS software that you want to install on the passive SCM. The
CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP
server, and unpacks it.
• passive secondary boot-type boot-via-network ftp_record - Use FTP to
boot the CSS from software located on a network-mounted file system on a
remote system (such as a PC or UNIX workstation). The CSS boots
independently from the passive SCM and loads the configuration into
memory. Instead of the CSS disk, the network file system contains the CSS
software.
Enter the ftp_record as the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP
server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no
spaces.
For example, enter:
(config-boot)# passive secondary boot-type boot-via-disk
To remove the secondary boot type from the passive SCM, enter:
(config-boot)# no passive secondary boot-type
Configuring the Passive SCM Secondary Configuration Path
Use the passive secondary config-path command to specify the secondary
alternate path to a network configuration for the network boot method for the
passive SCM. An alternate configuration path allows multiple CSSs to use the
same boot image while keeping their configuration information in separate
directories. The CSS must beable to access the configuration path through an FTP
server (such as a PC or UNIX workstation) as defined through the FTP record for
the network boot method.
