Following is an older sample config on how to recover the SAN-OS. Once it it up & running, all you have to do is point your web browser to the IP address of the mgmt interface and then select Fabric manager and it will install. The FM/DM package is available from the download section of the Cisco website as well.

1.) At the loader prompt, add ip address and default gateway. And then get a kickstart image into memory

Loader>ip address 172.18.172.57 255.255.255.0

Loader> ip default-gateway 172.18.172.1

Loader> boot tftp://172.18.172.79/m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

2.) It will boot up to a (boot) prompt. So now get a regular image onto bootflash and boot it.

Switch(boot)# config t

Switch(boot)(config)# interface mgmt 0

Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# ip address 172.18.172.57 255.255.255.0

Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# no shut

Switch(boot)(config-mgmt0)# exit

Switch(boot)(config)# ip default-gateway 172.18.172.1

Switch(boot)(config)# exit

Switch(boot)# copy tftp:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

Switch(boot)# load bootflash:m9500-sf1ek9-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

3.) The switch should come up in normal mode and you will be able to login. But you need to set the boot variables at this time. First get the kickstart image onto bootflash.

Switch# copy tftp://172.18.172.79/m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin bootflash:///m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

Switch# config t

Switch(config)# boot kickstart bootflash: m9500-sf1ek9-kickstart-mzg.1.2.0.96.bin

Switch(config)# exit

Switch# copy running-config startup-config
