Hi all!

It is possible to stop software rollback after a reboot switches (I have 4 stack switches)

I accidentally hit "enter" key when I write software rollback, but I don't want it.

When switch finish this command, ask me if I want to reload but I hit "n"

But on the output I saw information that previous IOS XE will install after reboot.

How can I stop this proces ?

No software rollback doesn't work, software no rollback also doesn't work

Hi

haven't tested this but check your show boot system see if its showing that new image then change the boot parameter with boot system flash: see if that changes it back to what you want

show boot

Switch 1

Current Boot Variables:
BOOT variable = flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.02a.E.152-2a.E2.bin;

Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.02a.E.152-2a.E2.bin;
Allow Dev Key = yes
Manual Boot = no
Enable Break = no

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

IOS XE is on INSTALL mode..

It is possible that the file packages.conf was changed after software rollback ?

It is possible that the file packages.conf was changed after software rollback ?

It depends if there is multiple packages.conf files in flash check-- dir-- for flash see whats in it , if theres only 1 it cant roll back to anything else but what it was already on if it was to reboots , there needs to be multiple packages for it to do a rollback

you could also force the flash into bundle mode then load a .bin that its currently using so if was to reboot you would be sure your definitely on the current correct image

Now switch using 03.03.05 IOS XE, when I make a mistake that I hit enter after write software rollback command, switch give information that after reboot it restore 03.07.00

On next week I will process upgrade switch from 03.03.05 to suggested (3.6.5) so maybe when I write software install NEWIOSXE then switch overwrite earlier command (software rollback)

Hi,

Software rollback is functional only when at least one rollback package with the file name packages.conf.00- is present.

I don't see any .conf.00 file on your flash, however to make sure, you can do "more flash:packages.conf" and verify which version is pointing your packages.conf file, that is the version your switch is going to run on the next reboot.
