We have had some issues with our Virtual Environment.

Our DCNM server (Single node) is now booting in Emergency mode.

is there any quick way to boot this in normal node? I couldn't find the information.

We have found a solution for this problem.
Cisco DCNM Release Notes, Release 11.3(1) - Guidelines and Limitations [Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller] - Cisco

  • The DCNM installer creates a _deviceImage-0.iso in the DCNM VM folder and mounts the ISO permanently to the VM. If this ISO is removed or the CD/DVD is disconnected, the VM will not boot. The VM will enter Emergency Mode and prompt you with the message:Give root password for maintenance. If the VM is down, CD/DVD drive can be disconnected. However, after you power it up again, the VM will enter Emergency Mode and provide a prompt.

After a crash in our hypervisor the ISO was not mounted anymore.
