はじめに

CiscoエミュレータのCML2。CML2上で作成したLABの中を開始後、NX-OS 9000がBoot Loaderで正常に起動しない事象が起きました。
復旧方法を書きます。

復旧手順概要

起動するイメージファイルが認識できていることが前提なので、特に特別なことはありません。

Boot Loaderにて認識しているイメージをブート
起動後、boot設定追加
設定保存

復旧手順

1. Boot Loaderにて認識しているイメージをブート

認識しているファイルの確認

Boot Loaderでの操作になります。コマンド間違えてもバックスペースなどが使用できないため
あらかじめあらかじめ
dirコマンドにて確認します。
'bootflash::'とコロンが2つ続いてますが、気にしません。

loader > dir                                                                   

bootflash::  

  .rpmstore
  nxos.9.2.4.bin   # これがイメージファイルです。
  .swtam
  virtual-instance
  virtual-instance.conf
  virt_strg_pool_bf_vdc_1
  scripts
  platform-sdk.cmd

イメージファイルをブート

bootコマンドにてイメージファイルを指定して起動します。
ファイルパスは2つ目のコロンを'/'に変えてください。(変えないと怒られます。)

実行コマンド

loader > boot bootflash:/イメージファイル

ファイルパス誤り時ログ

loader > boot bootflash::nxos.9.2.4.bin                                        
Booting bootflash::nxos.9.2.4.bin 
Trying diskboot 
Boot failed 

Error 9: Unknown boot failure

実行ログ例

loader > boot bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin 
Booting bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin 
Trying diskboot 
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

2. 起動後、boot設定追加

boot設定確認

正常に起動したら、bootの設定を確認してみます。

dist-sw01# show boot
Current Boot Variables:
sup-1
NXOS variable not set
Boot POAP Disabled

Boot Variables on next reload:

boot設定がないので、設定を追加します。

boot設定追加

イメージファイルはboot時に指定したファイルと同一です。

設定コマンド

boot nxos bootflash:/イメージファイル

設定ログ

dist-sw01# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
dist-sw01(config)# boot nxos bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin
Performing image verification and compatibility check, please wait....
dist-sw01(config)# 
dist-sw01(config)# 
dist-sw01(config)# end
dist-sw01#

設定の確認

設定後、指定したイメージがbootに指定できているかの確認。

dist-sw01# show boot
Current Boot Variables:
sup-1
NXOS variable = bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin
Boot POAP Disabled

Boot Variables on next reload:
sup-1
NXOS variable not set
Boot POAP Disabled
dist-sw01# 
dist-sw01# show run | i boot
boot nxos bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin 
dist-sw01#

3. 設定保存

最後に設定を保存して、次回のLAB使用時に正常に起動するようにして終了です。

dist-sw01# show start | i boot
dist-sw01# 
dist-sw01# 
dist-sw01# copy run startup-config

dist-sw01# 
dist-sw01# show boot
Current Boot Variables:
sup-1
NXOS variable = bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin
Boot POAP Disabled

Boot Variables on next reload:
sup-1
NXOS variable = bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin
Boot POAP Disabled
dist-sw01# 
dist-sw01# show start | i boot
boot nxos bootflash:/nxos.9.2.4.bin
