600 Boot Prompt Commands
NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
create
Creates a new boot profile. (For information about boot profiles, see show on page 596.)
Syntax create
Defaults The new boot profile has the same settings as the currently active boot profile by
default.
Access Boot prompt.
Usage A WSS can have up to four boot profiles. The boot profiles are stored in slots, numbered
0 through 3. When you create a new profile, the system uses the next available slot for the profile. If
all four slots already contain profiles and you try to create a fifth profile, the switch displays a
message advising you to change one of the existing profiles instead.
To make a new boot profile the currently active boot profile, use the next command. To change boot
parameter settings, use the change command.
Examples The following command creates a new boot profile in slot 1 on a WSS that currently
has only one boot profile, in slot 0:
boot> create
BOOT Index: 1
BOOT TYPE: c
DEVICE: boot1:
FILENAME: default
FLAGS: 00000000
OPTIONS: run=nos;boot=0

delete
Removes the currently active boot profile. (For information about boot profiles, see show on page 596.)
Syntax delete
Defaults None.
Access Boot prompt.
Usage When you type the delete command, the next-lower numbered boot profile becomes the
active profile. For example, if the currently active profile is number 3, profile number 2 becomes
active after you type delete to delete profile 3. You cannot delete boot profile 0.
