HPE Storageworks 8/24 - reboots every 10 minutes

[SANGUY1990]

Hey Guys,

i got a big problem and hope that you can help me.

I have an old B300 Switch (HPE-labled/ without contract) and I reseted them to factory defaults. I googled and found the command "configremovall". According to the website, the switch should wipe the configuration. 

After executing this command the switch rebooted normally but the switchname is the same as before.

But now, I have the problem, that the Switch reboots every 10Minutes automaticly. I've tried to reinstall the firmware, but during the firmwarereinstall, it starts again and now the FOS is on HDA1 incosistent.

Switch1:root> firmwareshow

Appl Primary/Secondary Versions

------------------------------------------

FOS v7.4.1e

Unknown

WARNING: Firmwaredownload is in progress.

Before the reboot happens, I've got several Errors on the commandline, like this:

2019/04/24-06:31:04, [EM-1068], 1169, FFDC | CHASSIS, ERROR, Brocade300, High Availability Service Management subsystem failed to respond. A required component is not operating.

FO, Brocade300, First failure data capture (FFDC) event occurred.

Is it possible to deactivate/disable the reboot?

Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?

Regards,

Martin

Following command fix this issue:

We've prepared the command "firmwarecleaninstall" with parameters, that they start asap, after the reboot. And this command starts and ends within the 10 minutes. The repair the HDA1 Mount and reset the settings.

The switch is working now.
