7 Appendix: 7210 SAS boot procedures
This chapter describes the booting procedures for 7210 SAS devices.
This chapter provides information about booting a factory-shipped 7210 SAS device for the first time.
It also includes information to boot the 7210 SAS device after subsequent reboots that are initiated by
issuing the admin reboot command. For subsequent reboots, the BOF and the TiMOS image are stored
on the local flash.
The 7210 SAS supports two modes for a first-time boot of a factory-shipped node or to boot the node after
the admin>reboot auto-init command is executed. The supported boot modes are:
• auto-init mode
In this mode, the boot procedure uses an external DHCP server to provide the IP address and other
IP parameters, and the BOF configuration, which contains the image location and the configuration
file location. This mode does not require user intervention and provides an option for zero-touch
provisioning of the node.
This method also provides an option to modify the default values of the BOF parameters used for
auto-init and customize a specific set of BOF parameters so that auto-init is supported in the customer
network environment. See Auto-init mode for a list of BOF parameters that the user can modify.
The user requires console access to modify BOF parameters. After the partial BOF is saved, the system
continues using the auto-init mode procedure to boot, with auto-init using the modified values of the
BOF parameters that the user has provided.
• manual mode
In this mode, the boot procedure requires user intervention to complete the process. During the
boot process, the user must log in to the console on the node and configure the IP address, other IP
parameters, and the location of the image file and configuration file. The following options are supported
to boot the 7210 SAS device in manual mode:
– boot from the image on flash
– boot from the network using uplink ports
– boot from the network using the OOB Ethernet management port
The following table lists the supported boot procedures for 7210 SAS devices.
