Recovering From A Failed Start - Dell PowerEdge M IO Aggregator Command Reference Manual

Step Task
4 Set the system parameters to ignore
the enable password when the system
reloads.
5 Reload the system.
6 Configure a new enable password.
7 Configure a new enable password.
8 Save the running-config to the
startup-config.
Note: The enable password is ignored only the first time the Aggregator reloads. If you do not reconfigure
the enable password before the session times out, you will be placed in EXEC mode and prompted to
enter the enable password again.

Recovering from a Failed Start

An Aggregator that does not start correctly might be attempting to boot from a corrupted FTOS image or
from a mis-specified location. In that case, you can restart the system and interrupt the boot process to
point the system to another boot location.
For more information about uBoot commands, refer to the Boot User chapter in the FTOS Command Line
Reference for the M IO Aggregator.
To recover from failed start, follow these steps:
Step Task
1 Log onto the system via console.
2 Power-cycle the Aggregator by using the CMC interface or removing it from the M1000e and re-inserting it in the
chassis.
3 During bootup, press any key during the second countdown to abort the boot process and access the uBoot
command-line interface. You are placed at the Boot User command prompt.
4 Reconfigure the default image paths to
be used to load the primary FTOS
image when the system reloads.
5 Assign an IP address to the
management Ethernet interface.
6 Assign an IP address as the default
gateway for the system.
7 Reload the system.
