[f-nsp] Line Cards not Booting on NI-MLX-4

[Daniel Faubel]

Do a "show run" and double check to see if you are booting off the image on the card. You should see something like this:
 
lp boot system flash secondary 1
lp boot system flash secondary 2
lp boot system flash secondary 3
lp boot system flash secondary 4
lp boot system flash secondary 5

 
If the slot you are having issues with is still in interactive mode make sure you go into conf t and change it. 
 
I've had issues where I've had to manually upgrade the card. You can find the how-to in the Foundry documentation on their website.

Hi all--

I've got a couple of NI-MLX-1Gx20-SFPs that I'm trying to bring up on an NI-MLX-MR running 4.00ca, and I can't get the cards to boot.  They keep looping through a "CARD_STATE_BOOT" "CARD_STATE_SW_LOADED " "CARD_STATE_SYNC_FID" loop, but won't come up active.  I can't update the lp files unless the card comes up.  I've tried this:

Config t
 lp boot system interactive [slot#]
exit
 wr mem
Power-off lp [slot#]
Power-on lp [slot#]
lp boot system mp primary [slot#]

and the lp images load from the mp, but they don't seem to stick, because the line card doesn't go active.

Do I need to issue a "no lp boot system interactive" + new "wr mem" + reload command to get it up and running?  It doesn't seem to work.  Am I missing something obvious.

Help is extremely appreciated.  I'm a little stumped right now.

Thanks.

--Chuck
