Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M - Figure 3: Bootstrap Load Process - System Initialisation - Part I

Boot Option Files

Note: When the operator executes the reset command in the boot loader prompt or admin reboot
auto-init in the TiMos CLI, 7210 SAS resets the current BOF and reboots.
Note: The operator can manage a 7210 SAS node through an external physical network.
Managing a node through an external physical network secures the management network by
restricting access to service customers and service data. The 7210 SAS node can be managed
through the Out-of-band (OOB) Ethernet management port.
Figure 3 displays the bootstrap load process.

The sections below provide more details of the various boot options and how the system processes
these options and loads the bootloader (boot.tim), the Timos image (both.tim) and the
configuration file to make the system operational and ready for use.
The following is an example of console display output when the boot.tim file is located on cf1 and
the system boots successfully.
