system software remains in a holding state and issues repeated log emergency
messages to the console.
Configuring the host system to operate in master mode
To configure the host to operate as the master controller, follow these steps:
1
If the unit previously operated in standalone mode and does not already have a
multishelf-capable boot loader (mrtcmb.bin), you must first perform an upgrade
by using the load command from the console connection. Follow the upgrade
instructions for this software version.
2
Enable master mode in the system profile. Following are the required commands:
admin> read system
admin> set shelf-controller-type = master
admin> write -f
3
Make sure that the rotary switch is set to 1.
4
Reset the system.
After a unit's shelf-controller-type has been changed, it must be reset for the
change to become effective.
When shelf-controller-type is set to master, if the rotary switch is set to a
number other than 1, a log message is displayed, but the system continues
initialization and becomes operational with a shelf ID of 1.
Enabling the remote shelves in the hosted system
For each shelf you want to put into service, you need to create and enable a
remote-shelf-config profile on the host system. The profiles are indexed by shelf ID,
and are also accessible via SNMP. Following are the profile's parameters, shown with
default values for the remote shelf with shelf-ID 3:
[in REMOTE-SHELF-CONFIG/shelf-3]
remote-shelf-id* = shelf-3
enabled = no
name = ""
location = ""
remote-shelf-type = stngr-cascaded-mrt
Parameter

Setting
The shelf ID of the remote shelf. This value is set by the
system when it detects the remote shelf across the
cascade port.
Enables/disables the remote shelf. Enabling a remote
shelf causes a control link to be established between the
host and that shelf. By default, remote shelves are
initially disabled.
Name of the remote shelf, up to 23 characters, to
uniquely identify each remote shelf in a hosted system.
