Boot configuration for the MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance
The Boot from drop-down menu lists options for booting the MergePoint SP manager.
CAUTION: Network boots should be reserved only for troubleshooting.
Local boot options
To understand the local options on the Unit boot from menu, you need to understand how the
MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance handles software upgrades:
•
The MergePoint SP manager initially boots from a software image referred to as Image1.
•
A new software version is downloaded and installed, the new image is stored as Image2 in the
Flash memory and the configuration is changed so the MergePoint SP manager boots from
Image2.
•
Subsequent downloads are stored as Image1 and the configuration is changed so the
MergePoint SP manager boots from Image1.
In the Unit boot from drop-down menu, the entry for the current boot image is selected by default.
After a software upgrade, the boot file location choices are:
•
Network
•
ImageN:image_filename
The word “image” is followed by the number, followed by a colon (:), followed by the name of the
file, including the version number. The menu item has the following format:
imageN: uImage.<version>-<build date>
Network boot options
For a network boot, the following prerequisites must be met.
•
A TFTP server must be available to the MergePoint SP manager.
•
An upgraded boot image file must be available on the boot server.
•
The MergePoint SP manager must have a fixed IP address.
