7210 SAS-MXP, R6, R12, S, SX, T BASIC SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION GUIDE RELEASE 22.9.R1
Boot options
4.1.5.4 System boot options for 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE,
and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE in standalone mode
Note:
See the Virtual chassis chapter for information about boot up and configuration of the 7210 SAS-
Sx/S 1/10GE operating in standalone-VC mode.
When operating in standalone mode, these 7210 SAS platforms support the following options to boot the
system:
•
internal flash (cf1:\)
•
external SD card slot (cf2:\)
•
external USB flash (uf1:\) (not available for 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE)
• network (with auto-init; auto-init is not supported on platforms operating in standalone-VC mode)
• network (without auto-init)
Because multiple storage locations are available for the boot loader (boot.tim) on the 7210 SAS-Sx
1/10GE, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, these platforms do not support the golden
bootstrap image.
During bootup, the bootrom searches for the boot.tim in the following locations in the specified order and
uses the image obtained from the first location where boot.tim is found to load the bootstrap image:
•
cf1:\ (internal USB)
•
cf2:\ (external SD card slot)
•
uf1:\ (external USB) (if available)
If the boot.tim is not found in any of the locations, the boot procedure fails. If the boot.tim is found in
one of these locations, the system searches for bof.cfg (the boot option file) on the same storage device
in the root directory. For example, if boot.tim is found on cf2:\, the system also looks for bof.cfg in
cf2:\bof.cfg.
If the BOF is found, the system uses the BOF to locate the TiMOS software (both.tim file), configuration
file and other boot parameters and processes them to boot the system. If the BOF is not found, the system
attempts auto-init to retrieve the BOF from the network and create a new BOF as part of the auto-init
process.
Note:
The following notes apply to 7210 SAS platforms configured in standalone mode:
• To perform a first-time bootup on a factory-shipped node, you are required to buy the software
license and use the storage media (for example, SD card of compact flash) obtained to boot
up the system. To boot up in standalone mode, it is not required to modify the BOF received
during auto-init mode process to include the host-type parameter. To maintain backward
compatibility, the node will boot up in standalone mode if the chassis-role parameter is set to
factory-default (the value set when it is shipped from factory) and the host-type parameter is
not set to any value (none).
• The auto-init procedure for 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-1/10GE,
and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE remains unchanged and is the same as the other 7210 SAS
platforms. Operators can continue to use the auto-init procedure that was used in previous
releases. The ports used for first-time boot up when chassis-role is set to factory-default
