CONFIGURATION GUIDE RELEASE 22.9.R1
Virtual chassis
• Configure the TiMOS image location.
The CPM-IMM nodes undergo an arbitration process where the node assigned the lower slot
number gets chosen as the active CPM node.
The node chosen as the active CPM node loads the TiMOS image and boots up as the active
CPM-IMM node. The standby CPM also proceeds with boot up. However, it does not have
the VC configuration on first-time boot and needs to wait for the active CPM to provide the VC
configuration through VC management messages.
Step 9. Identify the node that will take on the IMM role.
Step 10. Ensure there is console access to the IMM node to drive the boot process.
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 on the node that will be the IMM node, log in through the console port and manually
interrupt the boot process.
Expected outcome
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.
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.
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.
Example
The following output shows an example of a BOF configuration for a IMM-only node.
========================================================================
BOF (Memory)
========================================================================
#System Settings:
wait 3
persist off
console-speed 115200
no console-disabled
vc-stack-node-type imm-only
=======================================================================
Step 14.
After the IMM-only BOF parameters are configured, save the BOF by typing Yes when prompted
to save the BOF. Allow 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.
