Nexus 9396

pasa barnett

Level 1

I am attempting to convert a Nexus 9396 from ACI to standalone mode. i've followed the some online documentation. The image is in the bootfash:

n9000-dk9.6.1.2.I3.4b.bin. I configure the switch to boot the image. and I get the following error. Is there a step I am missing?

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
No autoboot or failed autoboot. falling to loader

I did, no go. bootflash seems corrupted or failed.

I also tried cmdline init_system clear_conf clear_log

Error:

Boot disk not found, Resetting EUSB bootflash
****BOOT DISK NOT FOUND****

Here's the console capture:

loader > cmdline recoverymode=1

If I boot the ACI image I get to the bash-4.2# prompt

but I don't know what to do at that prompt and it reboots shortly after.

You should be able to recover from the loader prompt with the following steps:

1) Copy Image from USB to bootflash:

Loader > dir usb1:
Loader > copy usb1:<ACI Image Name> bootflash:
Or
Loader > dir usb2:
Loader > copy usb2:<ACI Image Name> bootflash:


2) Clear previous configuration, initialize filesystem:

Loader > cmdline init_system clear_config clear_log


3) Boot new image:

Loader > dir
Loader > boot bootflash://<ACI Image Name>

OR 

Boot the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series ACI-Mode image from hosting server. For this method, Use TFTP. Use the command, "boot tftp://<tftpserver_ip>/<path>/<ACI_IMAGE.bin>".

copy is not a recognized command from the loader prompt.

Hi aleccham,

the switch will not even stop at the kickstart..

Pasa,

From the loader prompt, list the contents of bootflash.  Capture the output and paste the response to the forum.

Loader > dir

Thanks

I issued the system_init and now the nx-os image is no longer in the bootflash. and i can only get to the loader prompt.
