Hi Everyone,
I've got a VDX6740T-1G that's doing the reboot loops. After a while it does boot, but this is getting longer and longer.
Its come from a server hardware auction (not ebay, an actual server hardware auction) so I'm sure its had a long enterprise data center life.
I would assume its had the excessive writes bug firmware on it for decent amount of time. Good chance the CF card is in pretty bad condition.
Do I:
1. Replace the card, do a fresh netinstall with current firmware and then upgrade after its done?
2. Clone the existing CF card to the replacement card and then do a netinstall?
3. Just do a clean netinstall on the existing card and it may sort out the reboot loops?
Apologies if its been answered before. I did have a look through old threads but did see the specific answers around replacement and cloning etc.
I'm not a network engineer so im not used to dealing with switches and their memory cards etc, but can work my way through it.
