ONIE Check and Preparation

this section provides guidelines for completing the onie environment verification and preparation prior to asternos installation onie (open network install environment) is the standard installation and boot environment for white box switches, designed for deploying asternos and other compatible network operating systems operation flowchart operation flowchart environment check and preprocessing environment check and preprocessing onie not pre installed onie not pre installed if the onie environment is not pre installed on the device from the factory, the onie image must be provided and installed by the white box hardware vendor or through their official channels if technical assistance is required during installation, or to confirm whether the device is within the scope of support (refer to docid\ ck jyiinhcphkcsfatqlj ), please contact our technical support successful onie installation after the system reboots, it will enter the onie install os mode by default onie pre installed onie pre installed connect a server or laptop to the switch's serial port using a serial debugging tool power on the switch if the onie environment is already pre installed, it will automatically enter the onie grub menu page, with onie install os selected by default non a non a ster nos installed note if a third party nos is already installed on the device, it is necessary to uninstall all existing systems via onie first directly installing asternos without this step may lead to installation failures due to partition conflicts, system anomalies, and other risks to retain the original system or deploy a dual system configuration, please contact technical support for compatibility assessment step log in to the switch via the serial port and execute a reboot or power cycle operation admin\@sonic $ sudo reboot after a moment, a system selection interface will appear select onie within 10 seconds; otherwise, the system will default to booting into the original nos the onie grub menu will appear shortly select onie uninstall os this process will take some time to clear all existing systems and format their partitions wait for the process to complete upon successful clearance, the system will automatically reboot and enter the onie install os page hardware platform information check hardware platform information check before installation, it is mandatory to confirm that the hardware platform identifier in onie matches the current device model incorrect platform information will cause driver loading failures and prevent the system from booting after completing the environment confirmation and selecting install nos , press enter to enter the onie command line page execute the following command to check the platform information cat /etc/machine conf if the onie platform and onie machine fields do not match the current hardware platform, they must be manually modified using the vi command details are provided in the table below table 1 hardware platform mapping table 1 hardware platform mapping product name onie machine onie platform as7726 32x accton as7726 32x x86 64 accton as7726 32x r0 dcs6500 48z8c muxi dcs6500 48z8c x86 64 muxi dcs6500 48z8c r0 ds2000 cel ds2000 x86 64 cel ds2000 r0 ds3000 cel ds3000 x86 64 cel ds3000 r cx308p 48y n v2 asterfusion cx308p 48y n x86 64 asterfusion cx308p 48y n r0 cx532p n asterfusion cx532p n x86 64 asterfusion cx532p n r0 cx532p n v2 asterfusion cx532p n x86 64 asterfusion cx532p n r0 cx564p n asterfusion cx564p n x86 64 asterfusion cx564p n r0 cx664d n asterfusion cx664d n x86 64 asterfusion cx664d n r0 cx732q n asterfusion cx732q n x86 64 asterfusion cx732q n r0 cx732q n v2 asterfusion cx732q n x86 64 asterfusion cx732q n r0 cx864e n asterfusion cx864p n x86 64 asterfusion cx864e n r0 after completing the check, proceed with the asternos installation
