ISSU bootloop

mik.gustafsson
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I tried a ISSU upgrad on a pre-production VSS system the other day. I was going from SXI3 to SXI4.

Everytime I issued the issu-runversion command both Active and Standby unit reloaded. I tried to get it to work with diffrent images but everytime I got the same results. After maybe 5 times the Standby switch did not load IOS but stoped in rommmon. I removed all connections and turnd off the active unit and tried to get it to boot as standalone.

After trying that I can't get it to boot at all, it's complains about the image "%ISSU_PROCESS-SP-3-IMAGE: Active is loading the wrong image", and here we are.

I changed the confreg, I erased nvram from RP, tried diffrent images for booting but it always comes back to SP and rommon.

Does anyone know how to clear the unit, remove all config and parameters from the switch?

Back to vanilla and no ISSU process out of control.

Hey Mikael,

Can you please provide the steps you took in changing the config-register, erasing the NVRAM, and trying to boot the switch?  Does the switch still fail to boot if you manually boot it by specifing an image from one of the available file systems?

Brandon

Hi Brandon

-First I tried to change the BOOT= parameter in SP rommon. I tested SXI2a, 3 and 4 all on the switch.

   BOOT=sup-bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin.

-I tested to boot directly with the  boot bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin command.

-Then I changed the confreg to 0x2142 to skip startup-config.

-After this I changede the SWITCH_NUMBER= from 2 to 1.

-And then I changed the BOOT= on the RP and tested to point it at diffrent images.

-Then a nvram_erase on the RP (with rommon 1 > priv).

-I put the confreg back to 0x2102 and after a boot to 0x0.

Between all steps I did at least one boot and all of them stoped with the errorr %ISSU_PROCESS-SW2_SP-3-IMAGE: Active is loading the wrong image: ...

I hade a couple crashes during my tries to boot IOS. They produced crashinfo_20100714 files on the bootflash:

BR

Mikael

Hey Mikael,

After looking into this further, you may need to clear the persistent ISSU variables.  Please try the following -

rommon > priv

rommon > PRST_VBL_NUKE=1

rommon > sync

Then, confirm the variable is set correctly -

rommon > set

rommon > i

Make sure your boot statement is pointing to the correct image and then reload.  If you experience further boot failures after this, you can also try clearing all BOOT variables -

rommon > unset BOOT

rommon > sync

Hope this helps.  Let me know what you find.

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

I changed the  PRST_VBL_NUKE=1 variable en restarted the system, it didnt work, same problem.

After that I removed the BOOT variables and first it looked like it was working, but then instead I got a system crash and a new crashinfo file. A new reset of the system from me and the ISSU errror was back :-)

Then I again tested to do a > boot bootdisk:reboot an got IOS to start.

The error is:

*Jul 14 19:04:32.223: %ISSU_PROCESS-SP-3-IMAGE: Active is loading the wrong image [ bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin ], expected image [ bootdisk:/s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin ]    And the diffrent here is the " / " after bootdisk:. So I simply tried

rommnon 6 > boot bootdisk:/s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin    and it work.

Now Im in IOS and trying to change the image with the boot system command but then I get this.

Router#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#$ sup-bootdisk:/s72033-adventerprisek9-vz.122-33.SXI3.bin

% ISSU process is in progress; Boot variable can not be updated.
Router(config)#

This means that I nerver succeded in stoping the ISSU so I tried:

Router#issu abortversion ?
  <1-6>  Active RP slot number
 

Router#issu abortversion
The system is without a fully initialized peer and Service impact will occur. Proceed with abort? [confirm]
% ISSU process can be aborted only from [ Load Version ] or [ Run Version ] or [ Load Version - Switchover ] or [ Run Version - Switchover ] state

Router#

Do you have an suggestion about the ISSU process?

Thaks again for your help so far.

BR

Mikael

Hey Mikael,

With the box up, can you change the configuration-register to 0x2142 or perform a 'write erase' to clear the configuration?  Or is this also blocked?  Given that we know that we can boot it up by including the extra '/', we may need to test another reload and try to set the ROMMON variable again.

If you are unable to change the config-register or clear the memory with the box up, please log your session and do the following -

1) Warm-reboot the device.

2) When it starts to come up, break into ROMMON using 'Ctrl+Break'.

3) Follow the same procedure as before to set the 'PRST_VBL_NUKE' variable to 1.  Go ahead and clear the boot variables as before as well at this phase before reloading.

4) Manually set the 'BOOT' variable to point to the correct image without the extra '/' symbol.

5) Make sure these changes are synced via the 'set' command.

6) Reset the box to see if it boots.

Please attach the log for review.  Thanks.

By the way, what was the full name of the original image you were running and the full name of the image you were trying to upgrade to?

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

I succeded to get IOS up everytime I do a reload, this was probably because a mistake from me were I put CONFREG 0x4142 under the SP. Now it's changed to 0x2102 and the boot process is normal.

But ISSU is still stuck in a state were it won't allow me to change image, in IOS or rommon.

Router(config)#boot system sup-bootdisk:^Z
% ISSU process is in progress; Boot variable can not be updated.      

When I look at ISSU it gives me disabled.

Router#sh issu state
                          Slot = 5
                      RP State = Active
                    ISSU State = System Reset
                 Boot Variable = bootdisk:/s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin
% Standby information is not available because it is in 'DISABLED' state

I see alot of  ISSU proccesses like   129 Mwe 41E73E38            0          1       0 5564/6000   0 IPC ISSU Version

If I could bring up the peer switch and get them to recognise each other I could som how trick ISSU?

Thats what Im testing now.

BR

Mikael

The last testing I did setting up the VSS pair agian worked, it did enable the ISSU to be Init again.

Router#sh issu state

                          Slot = 1/5

                      RP State = Active

                    ISSU State = Init

                 Boot Variable = bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin;

                          Slot = 2/5

                      RP State = Standby

                    ISSU State = Init

                 Boot Variable = bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI2a.bin;

Now Im able to start over, put configuration back and start a new test to use ISSU for SXI3 and SXI4.

A tought about this:

Is it possible to remove this variable without a second Catalyst? Is it the same for other 'deep'config like VSS, not possible to remove it all?

BR

Mikael

Hey Mikael,

From what I found, setting the mentioned variable to "1" was the suggested way to reinitialize ISSU.  If this was being set from the SP's ROMMON and the problem was still there, it may be worth getting a TAC case open for deeper investigation.  It's possible that in general circumstances with the second switch still connected in the VSS pair, this method would work but did not because the secondary switch was disconnected.  Has the second ISSU procedure worked successfully?

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

It took some time to get the pre-production lab up again. The VSS system with problems are now connected  (MEC) to another VSS pair that works as core router over two dc-sites. And that core pair is again connected to an other VSS.

I got all features running between them, OSPF MPLSVPN and so on. I got L2 MEC links working and connected to access-layer N5k with vPC.

All done I tried to do en ISSU upgrade from the Active switch again, from ISX3 to ISX4.the first time I got:

r-log-oslr-r25-9-1#issu loadversion su
r-log-oslr-r25-9-1#$bootdisk:s72033-adventerprisek9-vz.122-33.SXI4.bin      

000114: Jul 15 22:40:01.955 DST: %ISSU_PROCESS-SW1_SP-3-IPC_AGENT: Failed to send; error code [ timeout ]
000115: Jul 15 22:40:01.955 DST: %ISSU_PROCESS-SW1_SP-3-SYSTEM: Failed to set Standby ISSU state to Pre-LV
% ISSU state could not be set to LV on Standby.

I then booted the system and tried the PRST_VBL_NUKE on Standby (problem switch).

This worked and I could get run the #issu loadversion command.

So, I wait fo maybe 20 minutes and run the #issu runversion, This produced the same result as before, both Active and Standby reloads.

This is the output from the Stanby unit:

That was last night, after that I tried ISSU three more times and the last time worked, with only about 30sek down time for failover (OSPF)

I did get alot of these:

For this setup of switches my deadline is in about 3 weeks so Im going to try ISSU a couple of times more to see how it works out, but then I have to start with the move to production. My conclusion is to not use ISSU on this pair in an production environment at the moment.

BR

Mikael

Hey Mikael,

It's not clear at this point what may have triggered these failures.  I presume that you were following a process similar to the following document -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/vss.html#wp1169499

From the errors provided, it appears that crash files were being generated so it would certainly be worth getting a TAC case open at some point to investigate this failure further.  By all accounts, this procedure should work successfully.  Was your SXI3 image modular as well that were you trying to upgrade from?  Can you provide the full image names of those that were tested?  This image also needs to have the same feature set.  It looks like the images should match from your previous posts but I wanted to confirm.

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Yes I use the configuration guide "12.2(33)SXH  and later releases"

First I did the upgrade from s72033-adventerprisek9-vz.122-33.SXI3.bin to s72033-adventerprisek9-vz.122-33.SXI4.bin.

This is the upgrade that I cant get working, I get a reloafd on both active and standby switch.

The bootloop is probably from the confreg mistake i made.

Now just 20 minutes ago I tried a ISSU upgrade, again from SXI3 to SXI4. Up until the issu commitversion command all looks fine. But when I run the last command both standby and active reloads.

Then when the boot is done both switches runs SXI4

r-log-oslr-r25-9-1#sh issu state
                          Slot = 1/5
                      RP State = Active
                    ISSU State = Init

                          Slot = 2/5

                    ISSU State = Init
                 Boot Variable = bootdisk:s72033-adventerprisek9-vz.122-33.SXI4.bin,12;

I do have a couple of the crashinfo files.

Mikael

Hey Mikael,

At this point, I think you need to go ahead and get a TAC case open.  This behavior does not look normal and the fact that the switch is generating crash files should be investigated further.  This could be associated with a software bug.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

I did open a TAC case today as you recomended. I'll try to post an update when there is a conclusion to this.

Thanks for all the help so far.

Mikael

Hello Mikael,

What was the TAC SR number? I seem to be having the same problem.

Thanks,

Pat
