Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my MDS9120 SAN-Switch. When i try to power up the switch, he ends up in the boot loader. So I have to boot the kickstart image manually:
Loader Version 1.2(2)
loader> dir
bootflash:
lost+found
m9100-s1ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5b.bin
m9100-s1ek9-mz.3.3.5b.bin
loader> boot m9100-s1ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5b.bin
Okay, then the switch boots the kickstart image like it usually does. I'm gonna find myself in switch(boot):
loader> boot m9100-s1ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5b.bin
Booting kickstart image: m9100-s1ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5b.bin....

Now, and here comes my problem, i wanna boot the real system image:
switch(boot)# load m9100-s1ek9-mz.3.3.5b.bin
Uncompressing system image: bootflash:/m9100-s1ek9-mz.3.3.5b.bin
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Uncompressing linecard components
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 3
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
INIT: (boot)#
After that, the switch reloads without any input and ends up again in the boot loader.
I'm working with cisco for a while now, but i never saw something like that. Please, if you have any advice, let me know.
I appreciate any help. Thank you!!!
