Chapter 2 Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration Specifying the Secondary Boot Configuration • Create an FTP record on the CSS to the directory that contains the CSS software on the network drive. Note Be aware of the following network boot restrictions: a network boot is not supported on UNIX workstations, and the War-FTP daemon is not supported for network-booting the system software. A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk. Specifying the Secondary Configuration Path An alternate configuration path allows multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in separate directories. Use the secondary config-path command to specify the alternate path to a network configuration for the network boot method. Note that the CSS must be able to access the configuration path through an FTP server as defined through the FTP record for the network boot method. When using an alternate configuration path, make sure the path leads to a directory containing the script, log, and information subdirectories, and to the startup-config file. These subdirectories must contain the files in the corresponding subdirectories of the unzipped boot image. First, create these subdirectories on the FTP server, then copy the files from the boot image to the subdirectories. Enter the configuration pathname as an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 64 characters. To configure the secondary configuration path, enter: (config-boot)# secondary config-path f:/bootdir/ To remove the secondary network configuration path, enter: (config-boot)# no secondary config-path OL-5647-02 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 2-9
