Changing the boot image
If you want to change to another image from the current one, and if you have access to the Web
Manager, you can use the Config
- Boot Configuration screen to select the other image and then
use the Restart button on the Mgmt
- Restart screen to boot the SP manager from the new location.
You have two other options if you cannot access the Web Manager:
• Use the cli utility
See To use the sptemplate utility to test a template: on page 179.
• Boot in U
-Boot monitor mode and use the available boot commands
See To use the sptemplate utility to test a template: on page 179.
To boot from an alternate image using cli:
1. Connect to the SP manager from a terminal connected to the console port or create a telnet or
ssh connection, and log in as
root.
2. Enter the
cli command.
3. Enter
get bootconf to check the current configuration to find out which boot command and
boot image are being used.
In the screen example, hw_boot is defined as the bootcmd and image2 is defined as the image.
4. To boot from a TFTP boot server over the network, perform the following steps:
a. Set the value of
bootconf bootcmd to net_boot.
b. Set the value of
bootconf serverip to the TFTP boot server’s IP address.
c. Set the value of
bootconf bootfile to be the name of the boot file on the TFTP server.
The currentimage environment variable is changed to boot from the specified image.
