FN-70379 - Preventing the problem

Regarding: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/703/fn70379.html

 

Basically, the next time you try to reboot after you upgrade vmtools, your UC box may not boot.  To fix it, you have to boot to CD and rebuild your 'initramfs' file.

 

So, it doesn't seem all that terrible if you know it might happen and have a boot CD handy, but it'll definitely seem like a catastrophe at two in the morning if you are blind-sided.

 

So ...

 

Can we reinstall vmtools to fix this BEFORE we reboot?

 

Is Cisco brewing a .cop file to check if the problem exists BEFORE rebooting?  Or is there any other way to tell beforehand?

 

Or perhaps, is there a .cop file to do a clean rebuild of the initramfs file BEFORE rebooting?

 

thanks,

QS

I'm concerned about this too. 

Can I fix this before rebooting?

Or is there at least a way to detect it before rebooting?
