| CSCwu67318 | Manufacturing loaded an incorrect software release on Cisco Nexus Dashboard ND-NODE-G5S Nodes |
A small number of Cisco Nexus Dashboard ND-NODE-G5S nodes are running an incorrect release of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Software.
During the manufacturing process, an incorrect release of Cisco Nexus Dashboard was installed on a small number of ND-NODE-G5S nodes.
If an ND-NODE-G5S node is running Cisco Nexus Dashboard Release 4.2.0.103a, it may not join a cluster or function correctly, and software upgrades may fail.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Platform is a purpose-built physical appliance that is designed to run Cisco Nexus Dashboard. These appliances can be ordered as single-node or three-node clusters, which can be extended by adding secondary or standby nodes.
Use the following steps to determine if a node is running the affected software release and, if necessary, to re-image the node with a generally available release.
Note: The node hardware is working fine. Do not create a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) for the node.
Step 1: Determine which release of Cisco Nexus Dashboard is currently running on the server.
If all nodes are running Release 4.2.1 (4.2.1.10) or Release 4.1.1g, no further action is needed.
If any node is running Release 4.2.0.103a, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Re-image the node.
If the node is running Cisco Nexus Dashboard Release 4.2.0.103a, re-image the node to run a generally available release. Download the generally available Nexus Dashboard software release from the Cisco Software Download Center.
Follow the detailed re-image procedure that is provided in the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Troubleshooting documentation.
Important: Upgrades are not supported for this situation. The node must be re-imaged.
Either Cisco Nexus Dashboard ISO Image nd-dk9.4.2.1.10.iso or nd-dk9.4.1.1g.iso can be used on the ND-NODE-G5S server.
Step 3: Verify the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Release.
To check that either Release 4.2.1 or Release 4.1.1g is running on the node, do the following:
