Continuing with Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)
You can use either the ARN monitor or the Technician Interface to configure the
ARN to local boot. However, you must use the Technician Interface to run the
Quick-Start script.
Before starting the local boot procedure, ask your network administrator to assist
you in completing the Quick-Start worksheets in Appendix B.
To use the local boot feature:
1.
At the command line prompt, type the following command and press the
Return key to configure the ARN to use its local config file:
bconfig config local
2.
Type the following command and press the Return key to boot the ARN:
boot
Note:
Continuing with the local boot option requires that you have already
logged in to the Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line software.
Refer to the previous section, “Logging in to the Command Line Software,”
for instructions.
Note:
The default setting for finding the software image is
local
; you do not
have to change this setting for the local boot option.
Note:
If the ARN tries to local boot and cannot find a software image or
configuration file, it attempts to netboot once. If both attempts fail, the ARN
continues to local boot and netboot until it boots successfully. If the ARN
remains in this loop, refer to “Interrupting the Boot Process” earlier in this
chapter.
