Solved: Re: Catalyst 4507R+E-IOS issue - Page 2

neonetad · ‎09-12-2023

Hello
When I turn on device, it goes directly to rommon mode!

It came with various error: magic number or bootflash directory (mostly). Here are some information:
Supervisor version:
WS-X4612-SFP-E, WS-X45-SUP8-E

Rommon version: 15.1(1r)SG5
Ios Version: Cat4500es-universalk9.SPA.03.11.152-7.E2.bin
And:

Ok, I'll bite.

If the supervisor card is still in ROMMON, post the complete output to the following commands:

dir flash0:
dir flash1:
dir flash2:
dir flash3:
dir usb0:

As you can See there is nothing on those flash, while with command DEV you can see 5 types of flash.
Also in cli mode there are three types of flash

Leo Laohoo · ‎09-25-2023

boot usb0:cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02 .E.152-7.E2.bin

neonetad · ‎09-25-2023

Yes. this is the way that I can access cli.
after reaching cli, I copied ios img from usb0 to bootflash

Leo Laohoo · ‎09-25-2023

Let it boot.

After it boots up post the complete output to the command "sh module" and "dir ?".

I think I know what is going on. Someone has been "creative" with the boot variable statement.

conf t
 no boot bootstrap tftp cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin 255.255.255.255
 no boot system tftp cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin 255.255.255.255
 no boot system flash cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin
 boot system flash bootflash:cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin
end
wr

And then reboot the supervisor card (or chassis).

neonetad · ‎09-25-2023

Ok, I did all the configurations. after reloading, still goes to rommon mode:
So I tried:

boot

rommon 7 >boot
No bootable image found !
boot: can not determine first file name on device "flash1:/USER"

Leo Laohoo · ‎09-25-2023

Ok, try this in ROMMON: confreg 0x2101

And then reboot.

neonetad · ‎09-26-2023

I did it all, changed the config-reg but still the same result

neonetad · ‎09-25-2023

A few things bothers me:
Boot bootldr bootflash:"ios"
File bootflash:cat4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin is an config type file

I think in order to boot directly from rommon to cli is to config bootloader or bootstrap?
Another :

40562 -rw- 1774 Sep 25 2023 12:24:02 +00:00 boot4500es8-universalk9.SPA.03.11.02.E.152-7.E2.bin

...
However, Whatever I did in cli, didn't affect rommon (more and less)
