Changing The Default Boot Source - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

To copy the flash code from the primary flash to the secondary flash for each of the TSPs on the module, enter a
command such as the following:
HP9300# vm copy flash flash secondary
Syntax: vm copy tftp flash <tftp-server-ip-addr> <image-file-name> primary | secondary
Syntax: vm copy flash flash primary | secondary
The primary and secondary parameters identify either the primary or secondary flash on the TSPs. For each
command, the parameter specifies the destination of the copy operation.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
This procedure is not supported in the Web management interface.

Changing the Default Boot Source

By default, the T-Flow's processors boot from the primary flash areas on the module. Each processor boots from
its own primary flash. The MP boots first, then the TSPs boot.
You can change the default boot source to one of the following:
• Primary flash (the default)
• Secondary flash
• Interactive
The interactive option pauses during bootup of the TSPs to allow you to select the boot source for the TSPs. You
must use this method if you want to boot the TSPs from a TFTP server. Otherwise, this method is used for
troubleshooting.
To change the default boot source, use one of the following methods:
USING THE CLI
To change the default boot source, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
HP9300(config)# vm boot secondary
HP9300(config)# write memory
This command configures the module to boot from the secondary flash by default.
NOTE: The write memory command saves the change to the startup-config file. You must save the
configuration change for the change to remain in effect after you reboot.
Syntax: vm boot primary | secondary | interactive
The primary and secondary parameters specify a flash memory location. The interactive parameter causes the
device to pause during bootup to allow you to specify the boot source for the TSPs. You must use this method if
you want to boot the TSPs from a TFTP server. Otherwise, the interactive parameter is used for troubleshooting.
To configure the module to pause during booting to allow you to specify the boot source, enter the following
command:
HP9300(config)# vm boot interactive
After you set the boot source to interactive and reboot, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged
EXEC level of the CLI to boot the TSPs:
HP9300# vm boot tftp 192.168.1.170 TSP07300.bin
This command copies the TSP flash code image from the specified TFTP server to a TSP address space from
which the TSP can boot.
Syntax: vm boot primary | secondary | tftp <ip-addr> <image-file-name>
