The Quanta LB9 XORPlus install Guide

The Pronto 3295 we received shipped with indigo preinstalled, so the install / upgrade procedures for the 3290 don't work. Namely, the command "run flash_bootcmd" returns an error.

By default, the switch boots straight to the CF card, bypassing the flash, with a U-Boot environment residing on the CF card, which then loads indigo.

On the flash exists an ONIE install. To boot this, use command "run onie_bootcmd". This install will attempt to grab an image off of the network and install it. This can be bypassed by killing the process once booted. it finds the correct image to download based off of the dhcp option "default-url"

Instructions for using this to install picos version 2.4 are at ​http://www.pica8.org/document/v2.4/pdf/picos-getting-started-and-upgraded-guide.pdf page 12-15.

Steps:

1. connecting to switch
   1. SSH to igolgi1 or igolgi2 (the switch console port is connected to these machines)
   2. run "sudo minicom" (settings are already configured: 115200, 8n1, flow control disabled
2. preliminary setup
   1. chose any boot option, then type "reboot" to reboot switch
   2. press enter while switch is booting to enter u-boot prompt (short window to do so)
   3. type "printenv ethaddr" to show management ethernet mac address
3. dhcp modifications
   1. on dhcp1, add a dhcp host entry of this form, with an appropriate MAC and IP address.

      host igolgisw1 {
              hardware ethernet 08:9e:01:f8:8e:02;
              fixed-address 10.50.100.42;
              option default-url = "tftp://10.50.0.42/pronto3295.bin";
              }
      

   2. Reboot dhcp: "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart"
4. Installation
   1. Back on the switch, type "run onie_bootcmd"
   2. It should boot off of the flash, get an IP address from DHCP, and then start fetching the image file off of repository1. This will take several minutes. Afterwards, it will extract the image, and then reboot. This is also a long process.
   3. Finally, it will reboot into the xorplus prompt. Default login is admin/pica8, it will prompt for a password change.
