Transient Roles

Transient role is unique in that it has OOB connections to the ToR switches, which brings the designation of Bootstrap Host. This role is only relevant during initial switch configuration and disaster recovery of the switch. RMS1 also has a transient role as the Installer Bootstrap Host, which is only relevant during initial install of the frame, and subsequent to getting an official install on RMS2, this host is re-paved to its Storage Host role.
