Configuring a Boot Configuration Record for the Passive SCM Chapter 2 Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration For example: (config-boot)# passive primary boot-file ap0720002 To remove the primary boot file from the passive SCM, enter: (config-boot)# no passive primary boot-file Configuring the Passive SCM Primary Boot Type Use the passive primary boot-type command to specify the location from which the CSS accesses the primary boot image for the passive SCM upon system reboot or when you download new software. The syntax for this boot mode command is: passive primary boot-type [boot-via-disk|boot-via-ftp ftp_record| boot-via-network ftp_record] The options and variables for the passive primary boot-type are as follows: • boot-type boot-via-disk - Boots the CSS from a software version that currently resides on the CSS disk. • boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Downloads an ADI file containing CSS software that you want to install on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, copies the file to the disk, and unpacks it. The CSS then boots from the disk. • boot-type boot-via-network ftp_record - Uses FTP to boot the CSS from software located on a network-mounted file system on a remote system. Instead of the CSS disk, the network file system contains the CSS software. The CSS boots from this file system and loads the configuration in to memory. Note A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk. The ftp_record variable is the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces. Refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS Software, for details on creating an FTP record. 2-12 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide OL-5647-02
