The slot number identifies a specific node in the VC (similar to the slot ID of a
card in a chassis-based system) and is used in addressing service objects
created during provisioning. The slot number also is used to light up the correct
LED on the front-panel of the node, enabling operators to see which slot is
configured with the VC node (the stack LED also denotes that the node is part
of a VC and is fully functional). The slot number of the active and standby CPM-
IMMs can be set to any number from 1 to 8, as long as it is not in use by another
VC member node. An arbitration process during the boot phase ensures that
one of the CPM nodes is the active CPM and the other is the standby CPM.
The MAC address must match the base MAC address printed on the label of the
chassis.
• eth-mgt-address
Configure the management IP address for the two CPM nodes using the
command bof>eth-mgmt-address ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length [active | standby].
The Ethernet management IP address configured as active provides the IP
address of the active node, which a management station can use to operate the
stack. The management IP address configured as standby provides
connectivity to the standby node.
5.2.2 Manually Configuring Nodes to Boot as CPM-IMM in
a VC
The CPM-IMM nodes are configured through the BOF and do not require further
configuration to be part of the VC. Perform the following steps to manually boot and
configure CPM-IMM nodes in a VC.
Step 1. Identify the two nodes that will take on the CPM role.
Step 2. Ensure there is console access to the CPM nodes to drive the boot
process. See the following for information: Procedure to Connect to a
Console, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE Console Port, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE
Console Port.
Step 3. Ensure the CPM nodes are powered on.
Step 4. Ensure that the SD card delivered with the software license containing the
boot loader (boot.tim) and TiMOS software is installed in the SD card slot.
Step 5. Manually interrupt the boot process at the boot loader BOF prompt and
configure the following:
i. specify standalone-vc for the chassis-role parameter
ii. specify a name for the vc-stack-name parameter
iii. specify cpm-imm for the vc-stack-node-type parameter
