Disk Mirroring The Nokia disk-mirroring feature provides fault tolerance by allowing the IP1200 Series to continue working in the event of a disk failure. You can create mirror sets that consist of a source hard disk drive (which holds the active copy of the operating system) and mirror hard disk drive.
You can use Nokia Network Voyager, the command-line interface (CLI), or Lynx to create and delete mirror sets. Note If your IP1200 Series contains two hard disk drives when you receive it, the disk-mirroring feature is already enabled. For more information about disk mirroring, including configuration details, see the Nokia Network Voyager Reference Guide and the IPSO Release Notes and Getting Started Guide for the version of IPSO you are running.

Installing the Boot Manager Upgrading the Boot Manager When you first receive your Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform, the boot manager uses factory-default parameters (such as kernel, and boot device) for the boot process. The factory defaults cause the appliance to bypass the boot manager prompt after a three-second wait.
If autoboot is set to no, the IP1200 Series stops at the boot manager command line during the boot process. If autoboot is set to yes, the IP1200 Series does not stop at the boot manager command line during a boot up. It does wait for the amount of time specified in bootwait for input from the keyboard.
The command has the following syntax: printenv For example: BOOTMGR[93]> printenv NOKIA IPSO BOOTMGR VERSION=3.7 07.05.2003-130000 autoboot: YES testboot: NO bootwait: 3 boot-file: /image/current/kernel boot-flags: boot-device: wd0 vendor: Nokia model: IP bmslice: 4 Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform Installation Guide...
Variables Use the ls command to view the contents of directories on the devices in your IP1200 Series. The command has the following syntax: ls device directory where device is the device that contains the directory you want to look at, and directory is the directory on that device.
The command has the following syntax: set-defaults name where name is the name of the variable to be set to its factory default. If name is not specified, all variables are set to their factory defaults. Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform Installation Guide...
Use the unsetalias command to clear an alias. The command has the following syntax: unsetalias name where name is the name of the alias to be cleared. For example, the following command deletes the alias from the list of disk aliases: BOOTMGR[2]> unsetalias disk Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform Installation Guide...
Booting the System The boot command lets you boot up the Nokia IPSO operating system. It allows you to set the boot device, boot file, and boot flags from the command line. The command has the following syntax:...
(the hard disk drive) boot-file /image/current/kernel boot-flags Using the Boot Manager to Install Nokia IPSO Use the install command to install Nokia IPSO. The syntax of the command install For complete installation procedures, see the appropriate version of release notes. Note Using the install command to perform a full installation deletes the existing IPSO image on the IP1200 Series.
Using the Boot Manager Protecting the Boot Manager with a Password To prevent accidental or unauthorized access to the hard disk on your Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform, you can require that the user enter a password to access the boot manager install command. Use the password command to set the password.
Nokia IPSO (the operating system), not from the boot manager. To install the new boot manager, at the Nokia IPSO command prompt enter: /etc/install_bootmgr wd1 /image/current/bootmgr/nkipflash The command installs the new boot manager image (nkipflash) into the flash device (wd1).
Page 110
Nokia Customer Support site as listed in “Nokia Contact Information” page 3. 2. At the Nokia IPSO command prompt, enter: /etc/upgrade_bootmgr wd1 /etc/nkipflash The command upgrades the boot manager with the new image (nkipflash), writing it into the hard disk drive (wd0). The upgrade takes some time to complete.
Troubleshooting This chapter provides troubleshooting tips, problems, and solutions related to Nokia IP1200 Series Security Platform installations. For information about how to reinstall the Nokia IPSO operating system onto your appliance, see Chapter 6, “Using the Boot Manager.” General Troubleshooting Information The information in this section relates to problems you might encounter during the IP1200 Series installation.
