Recovering Fabric Interconnects Fails

MarcST1984

Level 1

Hello all,
I hope you can help me.
I had to upgrade both FI nodes manually.
After upgrade I want to configure the FIs and I get the following error message.

I am happy about possible solutions

 

Error:


Enter the admin password of the Peer Fabric Interconnect:
Connect to Peer Fabric Interconnect.... Done
Retrieving the configuration from the Peer Fabric Interconnect.... done
The installer has detected that the peer fabric interconnect is using a different firmware version than the local fabric. Cannot join the cluster.

Local Fabric Interconnect
UCSM version: 4.1(3f)
UCSM SP version : 4.1(3)SP0
Kernel Version : 5.0(3)N2(4.13f)
System Version : 5.0(3)N2(4.13f)
System SP version:
local_model_no : UCS-FI-6248UP

Peer Fabric Interconnect
UCSM version: 4.1(3f)
UCSM SP version: 4.1(3)SP0
Kernel Version :
System Version :
System SP version:

Do you want to upgrade the firmware on this fabric interconnect to the version of the peer? (y/n): y
Upgrade the firmware of the fabric interconnect....... [ Please do not press Ctrl+c while updating the firmware ]
Updating the images
Please wait for the firmware upgrade to complete.... ERROR: Copy of images failed. Possible reasons are network failure or file not found.
Please try again or configure the device as a standalone device.

 

I used this guide:

Suspect there is file system issue on partition supporting bootflash (/dev/sda3), or issue with underlying physical SSD.

Going to need a TAC case to get the dplug file to run the e2fsck.

Alternatively, bring up the FI in standalone (if it will successfully boot up), and then from local-mgmt:

connect local

local-mgmt: reboot e2fsck

 

If this corrects file system errors on stand alone, connect again to local-mgmt: erase config

Re-attempt to join the FI to the existing one.

 

Kirk...

i gonna try
