Initial Setup Using the ROM Monitor
Chapter 2
After installing the RAC software on the file server host, collect the
following information, which is required to determine the RAC's boot
parameters:
•
The location (directory path) of the download files on the
host (tftp only)
•
Whether the RAC and host are on the same subnet or are
separated by one or more routers
•
Whether the host will use tftp or erpcd (requires a UNIX or
Windows NT host) to download code to the RAC
You need this information to perform an initial boot when loading the
software. Enter these parameters into the EEPROM using the ROM
monitor commands, which are accessed through a console terminal. See
Chapter 3
for more information about these commands.
The RAC supports the Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) and the Reverse
Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), which can be used to obtain some
of the information listed. If you have a host running BootP or RARP, the
server will boot without user intervention. For more information about
using these protocols, see
page
2-19.
The RAC supports Windows NT host tools. Remote Access
Server Tools allows you to boot and configure the RAC on a
Windows NT network. For more information, refer to Using
