hi,everyone:
i meet some problems after i upgraded the os of ace module. in order to run with VSS, i upgraded the ace's version(1.0 to 3.0),in the beginning,it seems good ...but ,when i power on again,it can not work correctly..at last ,i used the console of the ace module to login.and my screen appears below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: monitor nvram area is corrupt ... using default values
************************************************************
Please execute the 'sync' command
Sync will restore the default config(nvram) contents
Failure to do so, may result in corrupt nvram
************************************************************
.ACE platform with 1048576 Kbytes of main memory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now...when i power enable the module...it jsut can run with rommon mode..so i cant login with session slot x pro x command
AND ..without the ACL(console permit),,,i also cant login with the console of ace module.

Sorry, but I don't understand what is the current status ?
Are you in rommon ?
Or normal prompt ?

thx for your help..
now,i can't login to ace module...because it's in rommon mode..
and i can't login to ace by both the console of sup720 and ace module ...
but why i know i m in the rom mode ...
at first, i use the command "power enable xxxx" to power on the ace module(the led light will not be green,but stay in orange) and then..i use my console cable can get a little bit boot information from the console port of ace module

here are some information about sup-720:(ace is in slot 7...switch 2 slot 7 is ok.)

Your nvram got most probably erased and therefore there is no config so ACE does not know which image to start probably.
Do a 'dir disk0:' from rommon.
If you can see an ACE image.
Do 'boot disk0:

If I am reading the question correctly, then I am having same issue with an ACE 10 in my lab. I cannot access the ACE through the session command, and when I physically console into the module itself I can't type anything.

When I am consoled into the ACE, nothing I type shows up. Not sure if it's a console setting, or what

Hi Josh,
The fact that you see anything on your console is a good sign. This just means that the communication from your PC isn't getting to the ACE, but communication from the ACE is making it to your PC. Here are the settings I use in the lab (using HyperTerminal):
9600 bits per second
8 Data bits
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: Xon / Xoff
Hope that helps,
Sean

Thanks for suggesting that. I just got a new PC and just installed Secure CRT yesterday and hadn't thought of checking that. This ACE10 used to be running SBC code. Is there any issue with just changing it to A2(3.1)?

Hi Josh,
I'm not sure if there will be any issues changing to ACE code. I wouldn't expect any problems since it is the same hardware platform. Let us know how it goes.
I don't know what an SBC does, but I bet the hardware will be much happier with ACE software on it (I hope)
Thanks,
Sean
