Cisco 9300 losing config after reloading

[Pavan.0703]

I am using Cisco 9300 48UXM-E, after configuring when I reload the switch I am losing configuration. Switch is coming as new and when we use command copy start run config is coming back. On my research I understood that config-register is not changing from 0x2142 to 0x2102 after reloading. Can anyone please help me to overcome this issue. 

[Rob Miller]

 out put of my sh boot, sho romvar, dir, sh run all | in service, sh ver, and sh log.  I've set it to boot from packages.conf (after a regular install activate commit of the bin) and the bin file both.    CONFIG_FILE= is obviously blank and I would assume needs to point to the startup-config file?

                                                       No , you don't have to set it ; it will work then too ,

[Rob Miller]

How/where do you set that?  Is it just CAT the packages.conf file and set the boot variable to point to packages.conf?  Does that CONFIG_FILE just need to be set to = startup-config or is there a specific file it should point to? in flash:? bootflash:?  somewhere else?

This is the reason why.

[lee-kelly]

see this link describes how the boot process works on new 9300 switches different commands, we have issue were SWITCH_IGNORE_STARTUP_CFG=1 is set to 1 but no config to make it do so. present the https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-9300-series-switches/216850-configuration-register-equivalent-clis-i.html

I encountered this issue after updating a used C9300-48P to 17.09.05.

I resolved it by running these commands.

copy startup-config running-config
conf t
no system ignore startupconfig switch all
exit
write memory
reload

It solved same issue for C9300-24P Version 17.12.04
