I've been banging my head trying to get lan-automation working on a stack of 9300 edge node switches. The switches are already connected with stackwise cables and stackpower. After using the PNP initialisation steps here (14 commands to clear out everything) the switch stack reloads into "switch>" prompt instead of the " --- System Configuration Dialog ---" state. Because of this reason lan-automation doesn't work.
Instead I used the command "pnpa service reset" specified in the older document LAN Automation: Step-by-step deployment guide and Troubleshooting and this got the switch stack into the correct state after reload. Lan-automation then finally worked! Recently TAC advised to use the 14 command manual steps to clear initialise pnp instead of "pnpa service reset", and this command is removed from the newer lan-auto deployment guide... not sure why??
