Automatic installation You can automatically (zero-touch) install an OS10 image on a Dell ONIE-enabled device. Once the device successfully boots to ONIE: Install OS, auto-discovery obtains the hostname, domain name, Management interface IP address, as well as the IP address of the DNS name server(s) on your network from the DHCP server and DHCP options. The ONIE automatic-discovery process locates the stored software image, starts installation, then reboots the device with the new software image. If a USB drive is inserted, auto-discovery searches the USB storage supporting FAT or EXT2 file systems. It also searches SCP, FTP, or TFTP servers with the default DNS name of the ONIE server. DHCP options are not used to provide the server IP, and the auto discovery method repeats until a successful software image installation occurs and reboots the switch. Manual installation You can manually install an OS10 software image if a DHCP server is not available. If the IP address for the Management port (eth0) is not automatically discovered, ONIE sets the IP address to 192.168.3.10. You must manually configure the Management port and configure the software image file to start installation. 1 Save the OS10 software image on an SCP/TFTP/FTP server. 2 Power up the device and select ONIE Rescue for manual installation. 3 (Optional) Stop the DHCP discovery if the device boots to ONIE Install. $ onie-discovery-stop 4 Configure the IP addresses on the Management port, where x.x.x.x represents your internal IP address. Once you configure the Management port, the response should be up. $ ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 up 5 Install the software on the device. The installation command accesses the OS10 software from the provided SCP, TFTP, or FTP URL, creates partitions, verifies installation, and reboots itself. $ onie-nos-install image location The OS10 installer image creates several partitions, including OS10-A (active and default) and OS10-B (standby). After installation completes, the system automatically reboots and loads OS10. Install OS10 manually ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install ftp://x.x.x.x/PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.3.xxP.bin Where x.x.x.x represents the location to download the image file from, and xxP represents the version number of the software to install. Install using USB drive You can manually install the OS10 software image using USB media. Verify that the USB storage device supports a FAT or EXT2 file system. Plug the USB storage device into the USB storage port on the device. 1 Power up the system to automatically boot with the ONIE: Rescue option. 2 (Optional) Stop the ONIE discovery process if the device boots to ONIE: Install. $ onie-discovery-stop 3 Create a USB mount location on the system. $ mkdir /mnt/media 4 Mount the USB media plugged in the USB port on the device. $ mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/media 5 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 Getting Started 23
