Change Boot Parameters from the ACLI

To access and change boot parameters from the ACLI:

  1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal, and press Enter.
    ORACLE# configure terminal
  2. Type bootparam, and press Enter. The boot device parameters display.
    ORACLE(configure)# bootparam
    '.' = clear field;  '-' = go to previous field;  ^D = quit
    boot device          : eth0

    To navigate through the boot parameters, press Enter and the next parameter appears on the following line.

    You can navigate through the entire list this way. To go back to a previous line, type a hyphen (-) and press Enter. Any value that you enter entirely overwrites the existing value and does not append to it.

  3. To change a boot parameter, type the new value that you want to use next to the old value. For example, if you want to change the image you are using, type the new filename next to the old one. You can clear the contents of a parameter by typing a period and then pressing Enter.
    ORACLE(configure)# bootparam
    '.' = clear field;  '-' = go to previous field;  ^D = quit
    boot device 	: eth0
    processor number	: 0
    host name	: goose
    file name	: /boot/nnPCz100.gz /boot/nnPCz200.gz

    When you have scrolled through all of the boot parameters, the system prompt for the configure terminal branch displays.

    ORACLE(configure)#
  4. Exit the configure terminal branch.
  5. Reboot the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller for the changes to take effect.

    The ACLI reboot and reboot force commands initiate a reboot. With the reboot command, you must confirm that you want to reboot. With the reboot force command, you do not have make this confirmation.

    ORACLE# reboot force

    The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller completes the full booting sequence. If necessary, you can stop the auto-boot at countdown to fix any boot parameters.

    If you configured boot parameters correctly, the system prompt displays and you can go ahead with configuration, management, or monitoring tasks.

    Note:

    If you configured the boot parameters incorrectly, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller goes into a booting loop and displays an error message.
    Error loading file: errno = 0x226.
    Can't load boot file!!
    Press the space bar to stop the loop. Correct the error in the boot parameter, and reboot the system.
