Extract all files and folders from a nexus 7K

[mnice]

Hi guys,

I have a nexus 7K which causes me problems at startup (Loader mode), The bootflash was empty (It was formatted by someone) with difficulty I was able to copy the kikstart and NX-OS. Now at startup it asks me to configure the password I configure it but after finish to ask me others configuration like autoconfiguration, vdc ... etc, I tried with password created but not work (I use easy and complexe password) now I have a second 7K I want to copy all the bootflash and restore it on the first just to test the time to get a smartnet.

Can give me the command to copy all bootflash from nexus to tftp ? and after the command to extrac it to the sanother nexus.

Thx in advance.

I would probably suggest using a USB if possible since any other methods might be longer due to the COPP profile in place.

You just need a USB stick 16Gbytes formatted and then copy usb....... bootflash: to transfer the image
