Getting Started Editing the Boot Parameters 3.6.4 Restoring Factory Defaults Should it become necessary, the Server can be restored to the default settings installed at the factory. This will restore everything-the Server will function as though it just came out of the box. Be certain you wish to do this before you start. As mentioned in Section 3.6.3, you can use the Initialize command to reboot the server to its factory default settings. Figure 3-9: Restoring Factory Defaults Local>> INITIALIZE FACTORY 3.6.5 Reloading Operational Software The Server stores software in Flash ROM that controls initialization, operation, and command processing. The contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a new version of the operational software. Reloading the code into the Flash ROMs is a straightforward process. The operational code is downloaded from a network host via TFTP or MOP and then programmed into the Flash ROMs. To force the unit to redownload and reprogram its stored code, enter the Initialize Reload command from the command line. Compressing the code and loading it into the Flash-ROM takes approximately 30 secondst, during which time the console port is unusable. However, the Server LEDs will indicate continuing activity. If the Server is powered off or otherwise interrupted during the ROM programming phase, the code in the ROMs will be invalid and the Server will have to be reloaded again from the network host the next time it is turned on. 3.7 Editing the Boot Parameters If the information that the Server uses at boot time changes, you must edit the Server boot parameters, including: x Loadhost (TCP/IP or NetWare) The loadhost is the host from which the Server operational software is downloaded at boot time. x Backup loadhost (optional) Software is downloaded from a backup loadhost when the primary loadhost is unavailable. x Software filename x DHCP (may be enabled or disabled) x BOOTP (may be enabled or disabled) x RARP (may be enabled or disabled) x Boot Gateway At boot time, packets are addressed to the loadhost but are sent to a boot gateway host. This eliminates the need for proxy-arp on the router. 3-7
