Conditions

This issue could be seen while RSPs are booting up post system power cycle or while RSP is booting up post HW reload from sysadmin.

Workaround

Based on internal recovery tests, Reimage (PXE boot) of chassis helped recover the RSP. Please refer "Boot the Router Using iPXE" section of below doc for pxeboot steps. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/iosxr/ncs560/system-setup/66x/b-system-setup-cg-66x-ncs560/cg_65_perform_disaster_recovery.html Issue is extremely rarely seen so other workable workarounds are not known.
