firmware upgrade broke box?

[sirhc]

if you have a console that says Redboot you bust have un-powered it during a firmware upgrade.

Your only choice now is to do a Console TFTP recover routine up here.

Yep, that did the trick, thanks a lot :)

A couple notes in case it helps anyone else attempting this:

1. I was unable to get the HTPE terminal to behave, to I used the ExtraPuTTY 0.29 to do the transfer. Normal PuTTY won't work because it doesn't transfer files, and you need to send a file to your Netonix box.

2. I had a couple instances where the terminal rx command failed midway, so stay patient.

3. once you enter the

Code: Select all

 
rx recovery.tar.gz
 

If you're using ExtraPuTTY, you have to manually go up to the

File_Transfer -> Xmodem -> Send

and then select your file, otherwise the screen will just sit there for awhile repeating the 'C' character while it's waiting for an input :)
