Description
Summary
Enhance the switch agent so it can trigger a switch reboot into ONIE install mode, allowing the device to re-enter the ONIE installer discovery flow and reinstall SONiC.
Basic example
Proposed high-level flow:
- Agent configures the grub-entry to enter into the install mode.
- Agent reboots the switch.
- After reboot, ONIE starts in install mode, enters installer discovery, and attempts to locate and run a SONiC installer via DHCPv6.
Motivation
Today the agent can manage switch state while SONiC is running, but it cannot trigger a full reprovisioning workflow through ONIE.
We need this capability to support cases where a switch must be reinstalled remotely without manual console access.
