Configuration Guide
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.
In some cases, the BOF may specify different storage device locations for the TiMOS
image (both.tim) and the configuration file. For example, the boot.tim file may be
located on cf1:\, but both.tim and the configuration file may be located on cf2:\. Use
the show>system>information command to identify the location of the BOF and
the boot.tim image used to boot the system.
The following is a sample output of system information for the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/
10GE.

System Information

• cf2:\ (external SD card slot)
• uf1:\ (external USB) (if available)
• 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 is described in section
7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and 7210
• When operating in standalone mode, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE,
7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE support the option of either
configuring the BOF manually (see section
the procedure used) or retrieving the BOF using autoinit (see section
for more information about the procedure used).
