ICX 7150 Left the stack

Good Day

We had a pentest conducted on our environment and a few vulnerabilities were found with our Ruckus switch stack. We attempted to flash the stack during our maintenance weekend but it kept timing out. We then issued a reload command to reboot the stack. After the stack came back up it flashed fine. Fast forward to Monday morning and the branch complained that wifi in section of the building was down. To make a long story short the switch left the stack. The switch was removed and shipped to me to look at as we have another branch where the same issue has occurred. The power light is green and the syst light is orange. When a console cable is plugged the prompt just says "OS>". We attempted a software recovery and flashed the switch with SPR09010kufi.bin which is what we used for all other SPR stacks using the instructions here . The only part I skipped was the setenv uboot and update_uboot as I dont have the boot.bin and I noted this:

Copying U-Boot image (mnz10127.bin) to Primary flash
sf erase 0x0 0xc0000
sf write 0x720c0f34 0x0 0xc0000
device 0 offset 0x0, size 0xc0000
U-Boot update Done.

After issuing the reset command, the switch reboots and just goes back to the OS prompt. Green Power Light, Orange System light. I am not sure what more to do. Firstly for some reason it boots from the secondary partition and at the end of the boot process it shows an error related to "Incompatible version of booted application (SPR09010k.bin) and packages (SPR09010e.bin) stored in UFI image" so I flashed to SPR09010eufi.bin

After flashing back to the e firmware the switch booted fine.

Hi Jasanthbay,

Thank you for posting your query!

I understand that your switch is stuck in a boot loop, and you have already tried a software recovery, but the issue remains.

I have a question for you:

Have you tried to boot the ICX from the secondary code in boot mode? If not, please give it a try using the command below:

ICX7150-BOOT>boot_secondary

I noticed that you attempted a software recovery from SPR09010kufi.bin. Could you also try performing a software recovery from 08-0-80f?

Please refer to the following link for the 8080 code:

If this issue is not resolved, please log a ticket using the link below so that we can assist you further:

I hope this information helps you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any concerns.

Note: If this has addressed your query, please feel free to mark the post as an ACCEPTED SOLUTION.

Thanks,

Mayank

Thank you Mayank, before all the flashing all our Switchers were on SPR09010e or SPS09010e. After flashing to switch to the image you linked to, the switch appears to be working again. I ran "stack unconfigure" me to set it to a stand alone unit as I don't think my manager wants it to go back to the branch.
