Deployment Guide

The OS10 installer image creates several partitions, including OS10-A (active and default) and OS10-B (standby). After installation

completes, the switch automatically reboots and loads OS10.

Install manually using USB drive

You can manually install the OS10 software image using a USB device. Verify that the USB device supports a FAT or EXT2 file system. For

instructions to format a USB device in FAT or EXT2 format, see the accompanying Windows documentation for FAT formatting or Linux

documentation for FAT or EXT2 formatting.

1. Plug the USB storage device into the USB storage port on the switch.

2. Power up the switch to automatically boot using the ONIE: Rescue option.

3. (Optional) Stop ONIE discovery if the device boots to ONIE: Install.

$ onie-discovery-stop

4. Create a USB mount location on the system.

$ mkdir /mnt/media

5. Identify the path to the USB drive.

$ fdisk -l

6. Mount the USB media plugged in the USB port on the device.

$ mount -t vfat usb-drive-path /mnt/media

7. Install the software from the USB, where /mnt/media specifies the path where the USB partition is mounted.

$ onie-nos-install /mnt/media/image_file

The ONIE autodiscovery process discovers the image file at the specified USB path, loads the software image, and reboots the switch.

See the ONIE User Guide for more information.

Log into OS10

This information explains how to log into OS10.

To log into an OS10 switch, power up and wait for the system to perform a power-on self-test (POST). Enter admin for both the default

user name and user password. For better security, change the default admin password during the first OS10 login. The system saves the

new password for future logins. After you change the password through the CLI, enter the

write memory command to save the

configuration.

OS10 login: admin

Password: admin
