SM-SRE-910-K9 down. Software image is not installing. How to restore "Unable to load image Error: Selected disk does not exist (21)"

Hi Community,

 

I am working on deployment and recovering WAAS service in my company. Some of modules were decommissioned in past (site was closed and all equipment moved to central office) some might be new one.

 

Situation.

 

There is a module. 

 

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX#sh inventory 
NAME: "CISCO2911/K9", DESCR: "CISCO2911/K9 chassis, Hw Serial#: FCZ182260NM, Hw Revision: 1.0"
PID: CISCO2911/K9      , VID: V07 , SN: XXXXXXXXXXX

NAME: "Services Module with Services Ready Engine on Slot 1", DESCR: "Services Module with Services Ready Engine"
PID: SM-SRE-910-K9     , VID: V01 , SN: XXXXXXXXXX

NAME: "C2911 AC Power Supply", DESCR: "C2911 AC Power Supply"
PID: PWR-2911-AC       , VID: V05 , SN: XXXXXXXXXX

 

 

I am trying to enable it. I have configured router,

 

XXXXXXXXXXXX#sh run int SM1/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 237 bytes
!
interface SM1/0
 description XXXXXX SRE module
 ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1.173
 service-module fail-open
 service-module ip address XXX.144.173.10 255.255.255.0
 service-module ip default-gateway XXX.144.173.1
 hold-queue 60 out
end

 

 

it's NOT pingable:

XXXXXXXXX#ping XXX.144.173.10
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to XXX.144.173.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

Status is as following:

However, I am able to open session to this module.

However, whenever I try to install software it gets stuck in the same place:

Complication:

I have tried many options to initiate installation and no result. It seems to be working as I am able to manage module inside but there is something else related to installation.

 

Dear community, may you advise how can I restore this module?

Hi Jan,

 

It appears that the module is "empty" i.e. does not contain valid software (new modules often comes this way).

You'll have to use the SRE installer and not the accellerator bin image.

See this thread : https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/wide-area-application-services/software-upgrade-procedures-for-waas-sm-sre/td-p/1798396

and this : https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/data-center-documents/deploying-waas-on-isr-g2-sre-module/ta-p/3130988

 

Change SW-version though.

It appears that the latest SRE installer on CCO is 6.2.3c

 

Hope this helps ?

Best regards

Finm

Hello.

 

I do not know how but finally I managed install SW. The challenge was that installation was stopping for unknown reason. I have placed initial configuration again and somehow SW image deployment started.

 

Thank you
