Then, this error message appears on the console at boot time: Cisco AireOS Version 3.2.150.10
Initializing OS Services: Failed to open /mnt/application/eeprom.dat.
Cisco Crash Handler
This build was configured to copy this crash information to a file called: "/mnt/application/mwar_dump1.crash"

Resolution

When the configuration is cleared with option 5 from the boot menu, the eeprom.dat file does not backup and is deleted. This file holds the serial number, the MAC address, and other information that is related to the box. Without this file, the WLC 2006 cannot boot and the unit must be replaced.

Make sure following steps are completed before option 5 is used

  1. Update the _ER.aes file on the controller.

  2.   Update the controller to version 4.0.206.0.

Until those steps are complete, do not use option 5 from the boot menu on the WLC 2006 controllers that run these firmware versions:

  • 3.2.78.0

  • 3.2.116.21

  • 3.2.150.6

  • 3.2.150.10

  • 3.2.171.5

  • 4.0.155.5

  • 4.0.179.8

If the configuration is cleared without the completion of those steps, the hardware must be replaced.
