Lenovo ONIE Quick Start Guide for NE1032
After you activate and install an ONIE image, you can boot the switch in ONIE
mode. ONIE offers four modes for booting, each providing a different operation:
ONIE install mode
ONIE rescue mode
ONIE uninstall mode
ONIE update mode
There are two ways to boot the switch in an ONIE mode:
using the Command Line Interface (CLI):
Lenovo Cloud Network OS:
– startup image onie-image install
– startup image onie-image rescue
– startup image onie-image uninstall
– startup image onie-image update
using the Boot Management Menu (for more details, see
Menu" on page
19)
Note: For CNOS, the CLI commands for booting in different ONIE modes display
an error if the ONIE license key is not installed on the switch. To install the ONIE
license key, see
"Installing the ONIE FoD License Key" on page
The following pages describe the four ONIE modes and how the CLI commands
can be used to boot the switch in each mode.
This mode is used to install a NOS using ONIE. The ONIE install mode boots the
ONIE kernel and file-system and executes the ONIE discovery process. The
discovery process uses a number of different mechanisms to find a NOS installer
program.
Once a NOS installer is found, it is downloaded and executed. The installer loads
the Network OS on the switch, updates required ONIE environment variables, and
reboots the switch.
The switch now runs its newly installed Network OS and behaves like a regular
switch. The user can, at any point, reboot and run the ONIE installer again to
install another Network OS.
The Lenovo ONIE installer image, which installs the different Lenovo Network
Operating Systems, is called onie-installer-powerpc-lenovo_ne1032-r0,
