Not Able to reimage AIP Module

[Diego Armando Cambronero Arias]

Hey,

I am following this link

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/5.0/configuration/guide/cli/cliimage.html#wp1032373

My module have been in recover state for more than 12 hours

ASA-Ext/sec/stby# sh module 1 details

Getting details from the Service Module, please wait...

Unable to read details from slot 1

ASA 5500 Series Security Services Module-20

Model:              ASA-SSM-20

Hardware version:   1.0

Serial Number:      JAF1239ASAL

Firmware version:   1.0(11)4

Software version:  

MAC Address Range:  0022.90c1.faea to 0022.90c1.faea

Data plane Status:  Not Applicable

Status:             Recover

What should I do to fix this module.

I am trying to recover it because it is not working and only shows up an unresponsive state

Hi,

The link contains pretty much the steps required.

asa# hw-module module 1 recover configure

Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]: tftp://x.x.x.x/IPS-SSM-K9-sys-------.img   <--- Make sure you're using a .img file

Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]: y.y.y.y

Specify 'gateway' address if tftp server x.x.x.x is in different subnet than y.y.y.y. It is advisable to use 
tftpd32 from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html 
Leave vlan id as 0.

Now 'debug module'.

asa# hw-module module 1 recover boot

At this point you should see the status of recovery. Things will be good if you do not see the module going 
into a boot loop. Give it around 10-15 mins and check 'show module' output.

Hello,

That's exactly what I am doing. But the status only hangs in recover. I left it 12 hours but it nevers came up.

Thank you
