Booting the CSS from a Network Drive
The network booting feature enables you to boot the CSS from a network drive
using the .zip file included on your Documentation and System Software compact
disc. When you configure the CSS for network boot, the Internal Disk Module
(IDM) is not required. To avoid affecting network bandwidth consumption, do not
configure logging to disk when booting the CSS from a network drive.
Note Network boot does not support core dumps.
Perform a network boot if:
• You want multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their own
configuration information. Provide an alternate path for the location of the
configuration information. This information must exist on the same network
file system as the boot image.
Note When using an alternate configuration path, make sure that
the path leads to a directory containing the script, log and
info subdirectories. These subdirectories must contain the
files in the corresponding subdirectories in the boot image.
Create these subdirectories,then copy the files from the boot
image.
• The CSS has a hard drive failure. A network boot allows the CSS to boot
independently from its hard drive and to load the configuration into memory.
