Solved: set boot image for UCS-FI-M-6324

cinterloper · ‎02-05-2023

I have formatted and installed new firmware on a UCS Fabric Interconnect 6324.

Whenever the system is power cycled, I get the

loader>

prompt and have to manually issue the boot command for the kickstart image.

How can I configure the system to automatically load the kickstart image and then the system image?

Thanks in advance

Did you rebuild the FI manually?

Have you tried to "Activate" the firmware in the "Installed Firmware" tab? That is typically the resolution for your scenario. In this "Installed Firmware" tab, this scenario would show a "Running-Version" value in its respective column, and the "Startup Version" column would be empty.

Let me know if this works for you.
