Recovering From A Software Upgrade Failure - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Configuration Manual

Note: In SFTOS 2.3.1.9, these messages also appear when moving from the routing image to the
switching image without resetting the configuration to factory defaults from the Boot Menu. This
issue results from the use of unique flash file formats.
Use one of the following procedures to resolve this condition:
• Clear the configuration in flash by resetting the switch to factory defaults. See
the Factory Default Configuration on page
• If the first procedure fails, you can format the flash using the Boot Code Utility menu: During the
reload, when prompted, press
Code Utility Menu), then 14 (Format File System).
Caution:
rebooting.
