For the first version the filename would be:
image1: zvmppcons.v100
After one or more software upgrades have been performed, a second image is
also listed in the menu, for example:
image1: zvmppcons.v100
image2: zvmppcons.v101
If, for any reason, you want to boot from another image than the one currently
selected, you can select that image from the “Unit boot from” menu. You can
select “Network” and configure a boot server to boot from the network
instead, if desired.
A network boot has the following prerequisites:
• A TFTP or BOOTP server must be available to the KVM on the network.
• An upgraded KVM boot image file must be downloaded from Cyclades and
available on the boot server.
• The KVM must have a fixed IP address and you must know the address.
• You must know the boot filename and the IP address of the TFTP server.
These and other boot related options are described in the following table.
