Configuring a Boot Configuration Record for the Passive SCM

Configuring the Passive SCM Secondary Boot Type

Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide
2-14
To remove the secondary boot file from the passive SCM, enter:
(config-boot)# no passive secondary boot-file
Use the passive secondary boot-type command to specify the secondary boot
configuration for the passive SCM. The secondary boot configuration is used
when the primary configuration fails.
The syntax for this boot mode command is:
passive secondary boot-type [boot-via-disk|boot-via-ftp ftp_record|
boot-via-network ftp_record]
The options and variables for the passive secondary boot-type command are as
follows:
boot-type boot-via-disk - Boots the CSS from a software version that resides
•
on the CSS disk.
boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Downloads an ADI file containing CSS
•
software that you want to install on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI
or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, copies the file
to the disk, and unpacks it. The CSS then boots from the disk.
boot-type boot-via-network ftp_record - Uses FTP to boot the CSS from
•
software located on a network-mounted file system on a remote system.
Instead of the CSS disk, the network file system contains the CSS software.
The CSS boots from this file system and loads the configuration in to
memory.
A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk.
Note
The ftp_record variable is the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP
server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no
spaces. Refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS
an FTP record.
For example:
(config-boot)# passive secondary boot-type boot-via-disk
