200 MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager Installer and Administrator Guide
Appendix D: Advanced Boot and Backup Configuration
Boot file location
How the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager boots is introduced at a high level in Configuring
Boot Characteristics on page 75 in the section on configuring boot in the Web Manager. The
additional information in this section is to give an administrator who has the root password enough
background to be able to boot from an alternate image if the need arises and if the Web Manager is
not available.
The MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager uses a U
-Boot boot loader that resides in soldered Flash
memory and that automatically runs at boot time. U
-Boot boots the SP manager from an image
whose location is configurable. The image can reside either in a separate removable Flash memory
on the SP manager or on a boot server on the network.
Up to two images may be stored at the same time on the SP manager’s removable Flash. Each
image on the removable Flash has three separate file systems mounted on three Linux partitions.
The first partition for each image contains the kernel, the second partition contains the root
filesystem mounted read only and the third partition contains the configuration files mounted
read
-write.
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/u
-boot. for more about U-Boot in general.
The SP manager boots from alternate images as described below.
The SP manager initially boots from a software image referred to as image1, which is stored in
three partitions on the removable Flash (hda1, hda5 and hda7).
The first time you download and install a new software version from Cyclades, the new image
is stored as image2 in another set of three identical partitions on the removable Flash (hda2,
hda6, and hda8), and the configuration is changed to boot the SP manager from image2.
The second time you download a new software version, the latest image is stored as image1 in
the first set of three partitions, and the SP manager configuration is changed to boot
from image1.
Subsequent downloads are stored following the same pattern, alternating image1 with image2.
Refer to the following text and figure explaining partition numbers if needed for understanding the
instructions about boot configuration. As illustrated in the following figure, the first partition for
each image contains the Linux kernel, the second partition contains the root
-mounted filesystem
(which is mounted read only), and the third partition (which is mounted read write) contains the
configuration files.
