Offline DM Verification of the Boot Configuration
Record and Disk
During the Offline DM verification phase, the CSS checks the configuration
record and initializes the disk. If the CSS detects any errors in the configuration
record, a failed message appears along with information on the configuration
parameter in question. The problems may include a misconfigured IP and subnet
address, or there is no primary or secondary boot record. The CSS does not
continue the boot process until the problem is resolved.
If a failed message occurs:
1.
Enter the Offline DM menu and display your current configuration record.
Refer to the
Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide
for detailed
information on using Offline DM.
2.
Reconfigure the CSS boot record configuration.
3.
Reboot the CSS.
Note
If a MAC address error occurs, contact TAC for technical assistance.
After the CSS confirms a valid configuration record, it initializes the disk in
slot 0. If the disk cannot initialize, the CSS indicates that it has failed. If an
initialization problem occurs:
1.
Enter the Offline DM menu.
2.
Select the option
3
from the Disk Options menu.
3.
Perform a check disk on the disk in slot 0. If necessary, reformat the disk.
4.
Reboot the CSS. If the failure is not resolved, contact TAC for technical
assistance.
