Configuring the Boot File Location
After a software upgrade, the boot file location choices are:
•Network
•Image1:image_filename
•Image2:image_filename
The word “image” is followed by the number, followed by a colon (:),
followed by the name of the file, including the version number. The menu
item has the following format:
image1:zvmppconb.vversion_number
The entry for the first release of the software, which is installed in the image1
area, is:
image1:zvmppconb.v100
After one or more software upgrades have been performed, a second image
also appears in the menu, for example:
image1:zvmppconb.v100
image2:zvmppconb.v101
If you want to boot from another image than the one currently selected, you
can select that image from the “Unit boot from” menu.
Network Boot Options
Network boots are recommended only for troubleshooting or for possible
downloads of new software images that can then be stored in the on-board
flash memory, as described in “To Upgrade to a Boot Image From a Network
Boot in U-Boot Monitor Mode” on page 414.
To boot from a boot server, you can select “Network” and configure a boot
server.
For network boot to work, make sure the following prerequisites are done.
• A TFTP server must be available to the OnBoard.
• An upgraded OnBoard boot image file must be downloaded from
Cyclades and must be available on the boot server. See
• The OnBoard must have a fixed IP address and you must know the
address.
