Getting Started
When the Services Module is shipped, it includes the hardware along with the
HP ProCurve Service Operating System (OS). The primary Service OS resides
on a Hard Disk (HD). To recover and diagnose hard disk problems and to
reinstall the HD Service OS, a failsafe Service OS is provided on the Compact
Flash (CF). The CF Service OS is a backup of the HD Service OS. The Service
OS can only be updated from the CF Service OS and vice versa. In this
document, the HD Service OS is simply referred to as the Service OS.
The Services Module does not ship with any product software installed. When
the module is installed in a switch for the first time, the system boots directly
into the Service OS. From here, HP ProCurve certified product software can
be downloaded, installed, and activated on the module. Product software
includes both the application and the product OS.
Once a product has been activated, the system can boot directly into the
product OS by using the boot product CLI command. After this the system
will boot directly into the product OS whenever the module is brought up.
Once the module has booted into the product OS, it is completely controlled
through the product OS. The Service OS and the CF Service OS no longer
control it.
