Symptom
Description
************
When we issue "copy run start all" on 4K platforms , the router copies some default commands into
start-up. After that when we try to reload the router, it tries to insert those default commands from start-up
and we see the following:
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
platform trace boottime slot max bay 0 process R0 level emd
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
platform trace boottime slot max bay 0 process R0 level forwarding-manager
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
platform trace boottime slot max bay 0 process R0 level ios
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
platform trace boottime slot max bay 0 process R0 level pluggable-services
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
platform trace boottime slot max bay 0 process R0 level virt-manager
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
This process goes on for a longtime and the router finally gets stuck. To get out of that situation, we power-cycle the device
and break the boot sequence and change the config reg to bypass the start-up, then only We could recover the router.
Conditions
Steps to reproduce
******************
1. Load the IOS 15.5(3) S6 on 4431
2. We issue ?copy run start all? and check start-up config, you should see a lot of
platform related commands.
3. I reload the router and monitor the status in console.
4. After booting-up , Router tries to issue commands from the start-up config and we see the above errors
5. After 15 mins, router is completely stuck! We waited for 30-40 mins but it never came back up.
6. We had to get into Rommon and do boot recovery.
Workaround
Workaround
**************
1. Don't use "copy run start all"
2. Get into Rommon mode and do a boot recovery so that we can skip the startup config (confreg=0x2142)
