Troubleshoot: Image not installed
[Please suggest content for the Short Description, to summarise and introduce this topic.]
When you first deploy Vyatta you must install the image and reboot the system.
Vyatta will function from a LiveCD image without the need to install the operating system to a persistent disk. However, it is common for a new user to forget to complete the installation process in full; and then be surprised that their configuration changes do not survive a reboot. Changes do not survive a reboot when the user runs Vyatta from the LiveCD image and not from a persistent disk.
- Get started on a new installation with the
install imagecommand. - Get started on installation or upgrade an image with the
add system image <location>command.
To check the state of an installation, do these steps:
- Check what software version and image you are currently running: Use the
show versioncommand. - Check what image will boot by default after you reboot the system: Use the
show system imagecommand.
