"The following are two scripts, one from a working unit and the other from a unit in boot. The module is stuck in the initialization loop. I researched and found that a resynchronization might need to be performed. However, to resolve the issue with the module in boot, we always end up swapping the router, and then the UCSE module works normally. I've seen some colleagues recover by upgrading the iOS or by removing and reinserting the DIMM memory. My version is IOS XE 16.9.3, router 4331, UCS-E160S-M3/K9 - UCSE SW Module. However, I am unfamiliar with this kind of attempt; at least, it has never worked for me."
Thank's
Add: We noticed that the module's boot problem occurs due to power overload on the router or spikes or drops
If anyone managed to solve it without changing the router, please let us know.
