Step 7. On the node that will be the standby CPM for the first time boot, log in
Step 8. Configure BOF parameters as follows:
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)
Step 12. Power up the node that will be the IMM node, log in through the console
Step 13. Configure the boot loader BOF parameter chassis-role as standalone-

through the console port and manually interrupt the boot process.
The boot prompt appears.
- specify standalone-vc for the boot loader parameter chassis-role
- specify a name for or the boot loader parameter vc-stack-name
- specify cpm-imm for the boot loader parameter vc-stack-node-type
- specify the slot number and MAC address of each CPM-IMM node in
the bof>vc-stack-node command
- 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.

The boot loader parameter vc-stack-node-type retains its default value of
imm-only.
The VC stack name, slot number, image location, configuration location, IP
addresses, and route information do not need to be configured on the IMM-
