Conditions:
Unknown

Workaround:
Steps tp recover:
1. Manually backup the current config
2. Erase the config with "write erase"
3. Reload the box
4. Manually restore the configuration

ok ive backup up the runing config to my tftp via this

copy running-config tftp:

how do i manually restore as i wouldnt be able to do this as i have "wr er" so when i reboot i couldnt even ssh as all my config is erased

copy tftp: running-config

 would i just console into the switch and literally copy/paste my backup config to the running config

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

good question. I guess when they say 'manually restore' without specifying what exactly that means, they imply that you indeed console into the switch and configure basic connectivity to (in your case) TFTP server, then get the full config from there...

[robertkwild]

so basically configure the bare min to get tftp working ie configure vlan, vlan ip, interface port ie make it access so i can copy the running config back to it?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

exactly. That is how I interpret 'manually restore'. The idea is, obviously, that you do this only once, and afterwards, you can save the config normally...

[robertkwild]

so when i do a 

copy run tftp

wr erase

reload

when it reloads will it be set to factory

[robertkwild]

my worry is when i do a reload it wont come back good ie it will go in a loop as it wont find boot file?

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

in theory it should load to factory defaults...

That said, what (if you have not tried that before) happens if you just reboot the Nexus, with the current config ? Maybe the problem solves itself that way as well...

[robertkwild]

yes thanks just reload the switch first to see if solves, will do, let you know, wont be straight away as got to go higher up the ranks to do this
