If the switch still is unable to boot, see
Booting the Duplicate Flash Image
, below.
Booting the Duplicate Flash Image
Another recovery method, if Linux fails to boot, is to temporarily boot the factory-installed
duplicate image located in the second flash device.
1. Connect through the console port.
2. When you see the number counter appear after the
zmonitor
.
.. banner, press any key
on the console keyboard to enter the
zmon
application.
3. At the monitor prompt, type: boot:2
4. You should see the counter again, but the system should boot into the secondary kernel. If
you have difficulties booting, contact Hewlett-Packard technical support.
5. At this point, follow the Upgrading the OpenArchitect Image section to put a new RAM
disk image in the application flash 1.
IMORTANT: Do not program flash 2, since this is currently your only bootable
image. The command to program flash 1 should be similar to the following
command. The image name may be slightly different depending on the model of
switch and version of the image.
Base Interface:
zflash -d 1 rdr6000.zImage.initrd
Fabric Interface:
zflash –d 1 rdr7100.zImage.initrd
NOTE: If the duplicate flash image cannot be loaded, remove and return switch for
repair.
