Greetings,

Trying to create a lab environment where I'm using (7) NXOS9K's in SPine/Leaf mode configuration. I ahve the proper memory, CPU & Disk space but when I try to start (1) node at a time it comes up in loader mode:

dsDxe: loading Boot0001 "UEFI QEMU HARDDISK QM00005 " from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x8,0x0)/Sata(0x0,0xFFFF,0x0)

Loader Version 5.9.3.94

loader >

Anybody have any suggestions as to how to bring this up? When I look at the DIR I see => nxos64-cs.10.4.2.F.bin I try to boot from that image but still get the same error msg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found the issue: Go to DIR & type in boot & name of the nxos file in directory; once systems is booted you type the following:

boot nxos bootflash:<file_name> which is the path to the boot image

then type: copy running-config startup-config

If you do not like to boot next time boot loader

better setup and boot variable and save the config

example :

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# boot kickstart bootflash:kickstart-image

my Lab i did this :

switch# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# boot nxos bootflash:nxos.x.x.x.bin
end
copy run start
