Overview
The Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) is a small Linux-based operating
system that provides an open install environment for network switches without
operating systems.
ONIE enables a network switch ecosystem where end-users can choose among
different Network Operating Systems (NOS). Practically, ONIE boots on a switch,
discovers NOS installer images available on the local network or on a USB drive,
copies the chosen image to the switch, and provides an environment where the
installer can load the NOS onto the switch.
ONIE is classified as free software, meaning it can be redistributed and/or modified
under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the
Free Software Foundation. To read the license, visit the following link:
https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/COPYING

Installing the ONIE FoD License Key
ONIE is not installed by default and it can be activated only using a Feature on
Demand (FoD) license key. The process of obtaining and installing a FoD license key
is described in the following pages.
Obtaining the ONIE License Key
The ONIE license key or activation key can be acquired using the Lenovo Features on
Demand (FoD) website:
http://fod.lenovo.com/lkms/
You can also use the website to review and manage the license, and to obtain
additional help if required.
Note: An ID and password are required to log into the FoD website. If you do not

Booting in ONIE Mode
After you activate and install an ONIE image, you can boot the switch in ONIE
mode. ONIE offers four modes for booting, each providing a different operation:
ONIE install mode
ONIE rescue mode
ONIE uninstall mode
ONIE update mode
There are two ways to boot the switch in an ONIE mode:
using the Command Line Interface (CLI):
startup image onie-image install
startup image onie-image rescue
startup image onie-image uninstall
startup image onie-image update
using the Boot Management Menu (for more details, see “The Boot Management
Menu” on page 17)
Note: For CNOS, the CLI commands for booting in different ONIE modes display
an error if the ONIE license key is not installed on the switch. To install the ONIE
license key, see “Installing the ONIE FoD License Key” on page 9.
The following pages describe the four ONIE modes and how the CLI commands
can be used to boot the switch in each mode.
14 Lenovo ONIE User Guide for NE1032
Booting in ONIE Install Mode
This mode is used to install a NOS using ONIE. The ONIE install mode boots the
ONIE kernel and file-system and executes the ONIE discovery process. The
discovery process uses a number of different mechanisms to find a NOS installer
program.
Once a NOS installer is found, it is downloaded and executed. The installer loads
the Network OS on the switch, updates required ONIE environment variables, and
reboots the switch.
The switch now runs its newly installed Network OS and behaves like a regular
switch. The user can, at any point, reboot and run the ONIE installer again to
install another Network OS.
The Lenovo ONIE installer image, which installs the different Lenovo Network
Operating Systems, is called
onie-installer-powerpc-lenovo_ne1032-r0
,
and it is available at the following link:
http://support.lenovo.com/
To boot the switch in ONIE install mode on the next reload, use the following
command from the switch CLI:
To check which ONIE mode the switch is configured to boot in, use the following
command
from the switch CLI
:
NE1032(config)# startup image onie-image install
NE1032# display boot
Current ZTP State: Enable
Current FLASH software:
active image: version 10.4.1.0
standby image: version 0.0.0.0
Uboot: version 10.4.1.0
ONIE: version 10.4.1.0
Currently set to boot ONIE install mode
Currently scheduled reboot time: none
Current port mode: default mode
© Copyright Lenovo 2018 ONIE on the NE1032 15
Booting in ONIE Update Mode
ONIE update mode installs a new version of ONIE on the switch, including the
boot loader and the Linux kernel. It works similarly to the ONIE install mode,
except the discovery process searches for an ONIE image instead, and not a NOS
image.
Notes:
This only upgrades the ONIE partition on the switch and does not affect the
NOS image.
The ONIE updater image is called
onie-updater-powerpc-lenovo_ne1032-r0.
This also installs a different version of the ONIE boot loader, which does not
support running Lenovo Network OS. If you wish to boot Lenovo NOS, you
have to re-install it by using ONIE Install mode (for more details, see “Booting in
ONIE Install Mode” on page 14).
To boot the switch in ONIE update mode on the next reload, use the following
command from the switch CLI:
Note: Upon reloading after the update process is completed, the switch is not able
to load the Lenovo Network OS, booting into ONIE Install mode instead. To access
the console port at this point, you must change the default baud rate of the
terminal emulator to 115,200 bps.
Booting in ONIE Uninstall Mode
This mode is used to uninstall a NOS using ONIE. The ONIE uninstall mode boots
the ONIE kernel and deletes the NOS image running on the switch. After the
uninstall is complete, the switch automatically reloads and boots into ONIE install
mode.
To boot the switch in ONIE uninstall mode on the next reload, use the following
command from the switch CLI:
Note: The following warning is displayed after choosing ONIE uninstall mode.
You are prompted for confirmation:
Once you confirm, the switch boots in ONIE uninstall mode on the next reload. For
more details, see “Uninstalling the Lenovo Network OS” on page 18.
NE1032(config)# startup image onie-image update
NE1032(config)# startup image onie-image uninstall
WARNING: Booting ONIE in uninstall mode will completely uninstall the
operating system!
Only the ONIE image will be preserved.
Are you sure you want the next boot to uninstall the OS? (y/n)
16 Lenovo ONIE User Guide for NE1032
Booting in ONIE Rescue Mode
ONIE rescue mode is useful when trying to recover from a broken NOS image. It
works similarly to the ONIE install mode, except the ONIE discovery process is
disabled. ONIE will not try to find and install a NOS image. This allows for the
troubleshooting of the system.
To boot the switch in ONIE rescue mode on the next reload, use the following
command from the switch CLI:
NE1032(config)# startup image onie-image rescue
© Copyright Lenovo 2018 ONIE on the NE1032 17
The Boot Management Menu
The Boot Management menu is another way to access ONIE and configure the
switch to boot in different ONIE modes.
You can interrupt the startup process of the switch and enter the Boot Management
menu from the serial console port. When the system displays the following
message, press Shift + B. The Boot Management menu appears.
Note: For CNOS, the submenu is available, but executing any of its options results
in an error, unless the ONIE license key is installed. For more details, see
“Installing the ONIE FoD License Key” on page 9.
To enter the ONIE submenu, press
O
.
The ONIE submenu allows you to perform the following actions:

Important Notes
Processor speed indicates the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other
factors also affect application performance.
CD or DVD drive speed is the variable read rate. Actual speeds vary and are often
less than the possible maximum.
When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume,
KB stands for 1,024 bytes, MB stands for 1,048,576 bytes and GB stands for
1,073,741,824 bytes.
When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands
for 1,000,000 bytes and GB stands for 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total user-accessible
capacity can vary depending on operating environments.
Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any
standard hard disk drives and population of all hard-disk-drive bays with the
largest currently supported drives that are available from Lenovo.
Maximum memory might require replacement of the standard memory with an
optional memory module.
Each solid-state memory cell has an intrinsic, finite number of write cycles that the
cell can incur. Therefore, a solid-state device has a maximum number of write cycles
that it can be subjected to, expressed as total bytes written (TBW). A device that has
exceeded this limit might fail to respond to system-generated commands or might
be incapable of being written to. Lenovo is not responsible for replacement of a
device that has exceeded its maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles,
as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the device.
Lenovo makes no representations or warranties with respect to non-Lenovo
products. Support (if any) for the non-Lenovo products is provided by the third
party, not Lenovo.
Some software might differ from its retail version (if available) and might not
include user manuals or all program functionality.

Particulate Contamination
Attention:
Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive
gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as
humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the device that is described in this
document.
Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations
of harmful gases include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or
cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forth limits for particulates and
gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or
used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or
moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or
environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. In the absence of
specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must implement practices that
maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human
health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates or gases in
your environment have caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition
provision of repair or replacement of devices or parts on implementation of
appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination.
Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility..
Contaminant Limits
Particulate
• The room air must be continuously filtered with 40% atmospheric
dust spot efficiency (MERV 9) according to ASHRAE Standard 52.21.
• Air that enters a data center must be filtered to 99.97% efficiency or
greater, using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that meet
MIL-STD-282.
• The deliquescent relative humidity of the particulate contamination
must be more than 60%2.
• The room must be free of conductive contamination such as zinc whis-
kers.
Gaseous
• Copper: Class G1 as per ANSI/ISA 71.04-19853
• Silver: Corrosion rate of less than 300 Å in 30 days
