You can configure network boot for CSS 11800:
• Primary SCMs
• Passive SCMs
Configuring Network Boot for a Primary SCM
To configure network boot for a primary SCM:
1. Ensure the SCMmanagement port hasaccess to the network drive from which
you are booting the CSS. The SCM will mount the drive, and read and write
to it.
2. FTP the software .zip file to the network drive base directory specified in the
FTP record. This must be the same directory from which you are booting the
CSS.
3. Unzip the file. You must use the .zip distribution format for network loading.
4. Configure the FTP record (refer to the section entitled “Configuring an FTP
Record” in Chapter 1, Logging in and Getting Started). Note that the
config-path and the base directory path in the ftp-record associated with the
network boot must not contain a pathname that collides with a non-network
driver name (for example, c: or host:). For example, enter:
# ftp-record bootrecord 192.168.19.21 bobo encrypted-password
“secret” e:/adi_directory/
This directory must contain the unzipped files.
5. Configure the CSS to boot from a network drive. For example, enter:
(config-boot)# primary boot-type boot-via-network bootrecord
6. Optionally, configure a primary configuration path to allow multiple CSSs to
use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in
separate directories. The CSS must be able to access the configuration path
through the FTP server as defined in the FTP record. For example, enter:
(config-boot)# primary config-path e:/adi_directory/
