Chapter 17 Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

You should use this procedure if the contents in Flash Device 1 are corrupt and you need to restore the switch to the factory default configuration. By restoring the factory default configuration, you will overwrite your main file system in Flash Device 1 and lose all previous configuration changes.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that Surviving Partner is not running before using zflash. The delays incurred while zflash writes the flash can cause the Surviving Partner daemons to think there is a failure, resulting in link oscillation.

1.Connect through the console port. For more information, see Chapter 10, Connecting to the Ethernet Switch Blade.

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

You should see the counter again, but the system should boot into the secondary kernel.

NOTE: If you have difficulties booting into Flash Device 2, the Flash Devices may have failed. Return the switch for repair.

Use the zflash command to write the new OpenArchitect image into the first flash device:

Base Interface: zflash -d 1 rdr6000.zImage.initrd

Fabric Interface: zflash –d 1 rdr7100.zImage.initrd

CAUTION: DO NOT program flash 2, since currently this is your only bootable image.
