System Startup Process - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

This procedure assumes that the main image set and the backup image set have feature packages and
patch packages. If an image set has neither feature packages nor patch packages, the system can use
the image set to start up after the boot image and the system image passes verification.
If neither the main boot image nor the backup boot image exists or is valid, connect to the console port
and power cycle the device to access the BootWare menus for loading a boot image. For more
information about downloading and loading a boot image, see the release notes for the software
version.
After accessing the emergency shell, connect to the console port and load a system image so you can
access the Comware system. For more information about using the emergency shell, see
emergency shell."
