Well, I solved this problem in the most roundabout way possible. I got the working config running, then just synced the other cards one by one in the good chassis. The console outputs were identical after syncing as they were before syncing, but after syncing, everything worked. Go figure.<br>
<br>I have no idea why the process that got the first config working didn't fly in the second box, but in the future I'll avoid the universal update and use the things I've learned here to save us all the headache.<br>
<br>Strange, but true.<br><br>Thanks everybody. Your input has been very educational.<br><br>--Chuck<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 4:15 PM, Asoka De Saram <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adesaram@yahoo.com">adesaram@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is a fascinating
problem with these NI-MLXs, because really, no two cards seem to act
alike. I'm trying to configure a second NI-MLX, and I'm getting this
response, now:<br>
<br>
WARN: LP slot 1's application image version ( 3 3 0 6)
doesn't match that of the MP ( 4 0 0 3) - put LP in
interactive mode.<br>
<br>
Updating fpgas for the card doesn't work.<br>
Trying to get the line card to boot from from the mp primary doesn't work.<br>
Pulling in and out of interactive mode doesn't work.<br>
Updating ironware and monitor/boot image separately doesn't work<br>
Reloading the entire image and then loading fpgas doesn't work.<br>
<br>
Each tried several times. Has anyone else seen these things as just
unreliable? I can't get a simple line card to just come up. <br>
<br>
Help, as usual, is very much appreciated.<br>

<br>
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:<br>
<br>
</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Config t<br>
lp boot system interactive [slot#]<br>
exit<br>
wr mem<br>
Power-off lp [slot#]<br>
Power-on lp [slot#]<br>
lp boot system mp primary [slot#]</span></font><br>
<br>
and the lp images load from the mp, but they don't seem to stick, because the
line card doesn't go active.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Help is extremely appreciated. I'm a little stumped right now.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
