Switch Management

VLAN Configuration

xCAT ships a simple configuration script that will set all the ports on the switch to be part of VLAN 1. See the Cumulus Networks documentation for more information regarding advanced networking configuration.

updatenode <switch> -P configinterface

Re-install OS

There may be occasions where a re-install of the OS is required. Assuming the files are available on the xCAT management node, the following commands will invoke the install process:

• [use xCAT] xdsh can be used to invoke the reinstall of the OS:

  xdsh <switch> "/usr/cumulus/bin/onie-select -i -f;reboot"
  
  # to clear out all the previous configuration, use the -k option
  xdsh <switch> "/usr/cumulus/bin/onie-select -k -f;reboot"
  

• [manually] Log into the Cumulus OS switch and run the following commands:

  sudo onie-select -i
  sudo reboot
