Procedure 46
Reinstalling the software using the .ISO image
Nortel recommends this method to copy the .ISO version of the software on a
CD-ROM and boot from it. This reinstall removes the current configuration and
reimages the SMC.
1 Burn the .ISO file to a CD-ROM as an .ISO image.
2 Make sure that the configuration and the keys are backed up. See “Saving
and restoring the SMC configuration” on
page 95 .
3 Insert the .ISO Image CD-ROM into the SMC.
4 Restart the SMC to cause it to boot from the CD-ROM.
If the CD-ROM is correctly burned and inserted, you will see the following
message:
Loading OS from CDROM
.
5 When prompted, log on to the console as the root user. No password is
required.
6 Enter
install-smc SMC-2450
7 Wait 15 minutes for the installation script to finish.
If the SMC doesn’t reboot automatically, take the software CD-ROM out and
reboot the SMC.
8 Log on with the admin user and password.
9 Proceed with Procedure 6 on page 82 to configuration the SMC.
Note: As a minimum, the management and intranet interfaces must be
configured so that FTP/TFTP can be used to retrieve and restore the
configuration from the server.

IMPORTANT!
If the SMC booted from the CD-ROM, the following prompt is displayed:
[
root@localhost root]#
. If the prompt is similar
to
[root@a47-11-102-243 root]#
, the SMC did not boot from the
CD-ROM.
