Using the emergency shell
At startup, the device tries to locate and load the Comware startup software images. These images
can include a boot image, a system image, feature images, and patch images. If the following
requirements are met, the device enters emergency shell mode:
•
The boot image exists and can be used.
•
The system image, a feature image, or a patch image is missing or corrupt.
After the device enters emergency shell mode, you can log in through the console port to obtain and
load a system image to start the Comware system. After the Comware system is started, you can
load feature images and patch images. This chapter describes how to obtain and load the system
image in emergency shell mode. For information about loading feature and patch images, see
"
If the device has two MPUs, the two MPUs start up independently. If one MPU enters emergency
shell mode, log in to that MPU through its console port to load a system image for it. For more
information about software images, see "
." For more information about how to
log in through the console port, see "
Using the console port for the first device access
This feature is not available on LSU1SUPB0 (JG496A) and LSUM1SUPD0 (JH198A, JH206) MPUs.
