Install manually using a USB drive
You can manually install the OS10 software image using a USB device.
Verify that the USB device supports a FAT32 or EXT2 file system. For instructions to format a USB device in FAT32 or EXT2 format, see the accompanying Windows documentation for FAT32 formatting or Linux documentation for FAT32 or EXT2 formatting.
- Plug the USB storage device into the USB storage port on the switch.
- Power up the switch to automatically boot using the ONIE: Rescue option.
-
(Optional) Stop ONIE discovery if the device boots to
ONIE: Install.
$ onie-discovery-stop
-
Create a USB mount location on the system.
$ mkdir /mnt/media
-
Identify the path to the USB drive.
$ fdisk -l
-
Mount the USB media plugged in the USB port on the device.
$ mount -t vfat usb-drive-path /mnt/media
-
Install the software from the USB, where
/mnt/media specifies the path where the USB partition is mounted.
$ onie-nos-install /mnt/media/image_file
The ONIE auto-discovery process discovers the image file at the specified USB path, loads the software image, and reboots the switch. For more information, see the ONIE User Guide.
