Not able to save configuration

[rishad ahammed]

I am working on N9K-C93240YC-FX2.  But I am not able to save the configuration in switch. Please find the below result.

[########################################] 100%
Configuration update aborted: request was aborted

Even I cannot upgrade the NX-OS. When I am trying to copy new NX-OS to bootflash it is giving error "file error
Destination: Read-only file system"

IS there any fix.

Hi, could be an issue related to this bug:

bootflash filesystem is mounted read only

Is not yet fixed but the workaround is "reload the supervisor".

Do you have already reload the supervisor? Make a configuration backup first.

what NX-OS is installed?

Regards.

Just ran into a similar issue on a newly booted N3K switch and wanted to share the fix! I was getting errors saving the running config to startup. Checking the logs, I found the following message:

2025 Apr 17 22:00:55.315 MRH-OOB-C9K-R22-C1-SW13 %SECURITYD-2-INVALID_ADMIN_PASSWD: User admin has NULL password. Copy r s aborted

Turns out, I hadn't set the admin password yet. After setting a password for the 'admin' user, I was able to successfully save the configuration. Might be something to watch out for on fresh setups!
