Step 11. Ensure that the SD card containing the appropriate boot loader (boot.tim)
software is installed in the SD card slot.
Step 12. Power up the node that will be the IMM node, log in through the console
port and manually interrupt the boot process.
The boot prompt appears.
Step 13. Configure the boot loader BOF parameter chassis-role as standalone-
vc.
The boot loader parameter vc-stack-node-type retains its default value of
imm-only.
The VC stack name, slot number, image location, configuration location, IP
addresses, and route information do not need to be configured on the IMM-
only node.
The following output shows an example of a BOF configuration for a IMM-
only node.

Step 14. After the IMM-only BOF parameters are configured, save the BOF by
typing Yes when prompted to save the BOF. Let the boot loader proceed
with the boot process.
The IMM-only node waits to receive VC configuration information from the
active CPM-IMM node.
Step 15. Take note of the MAC address of the node chosen as the IMM-only node.
The MAC address is the chassis MAC address printed on the label of the
node.
Step 16. At the TiMOS prompt on the active CPM node, proceed with the VC
configuration by using the config>system>vc-stack>vc-stack-node
command to configure the IMM-only node slot number and MAC address.
Note: The vc-stack-node-type parameter is stored in the boot flash (and not in the boot
option file) and must be modified using the BOF menu prompts.
