OK,
So I am wondering if anyone else has tested this upgrade...
Just got in a new pair of 5596UP switches, each configured with 2x 16 port UP
expansion modules. Went through the basic config of username, password, and
decline to do anything further like I always do right out of the box. Enter
username and password. Out of box, Switch was loaded with 5.2 (1) N1(2).
Insert usb thumb drive.
copy usb1:nexus5596/n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin bootflash:
copy usb1:nexus5596/n5000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin bootflash:
install all kickstart bootflash:n5000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin system
bootflash:n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin
when it prompted me to "reboot to continue with installation" I hit y and enter.
Fast forward 10 minutes. Switch has rebooted and prompting for a login. Type
admin. Enter password which was set and worked previously. Password
Incorrect. At this point I thought I might have mangled the password. OK
that's not hard, password reset time.
Reboot (cord pull)
Ctrl+Shft+r
boot n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin
boot into kickstart.
Conf t
Admin-password <password>
For this I have tried 2 ways, copy paste password and manual retype.
Then load the full image.
Load bootflash: n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin
Switch boots. No passwords work for login.
At this point I am thinking it might be a bug. So I roll back the image
manually.
Reboot (cord pull)
Ctrl+Shft+r
Boot n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.2.bin
boot into kickstart.
Conf t
Admin-password <password>
Then load the full image.
Load bootflash: n5000-uk9.6.0.2.N2.1b.bin
Switch boots. No passwords work for login again.
So at this point I am totally stumped... I have a TAC case open currently and
the engineer is trying to duplicate the issue in the Lab on a 5548UP. I am
wondering if anyone else has seen this? More importantly did you recover from
it and how?
I would be happy to share the open SR number with any lurking Cisco staff who
would be interested in the results or anything going on internally.
Thanks!
Blake
