Error booting from USB

Hi,

 

 

I have a Bigip LTM 6900 frozen and only can access via console.

 

 

when i try run the operatin system from the disk, appear "Error 22 :no such partition".

 

 

I have decided reinstall the software from USB.

 

 

I have followed the steps to boot the unit using USB Mass Storage with the umdinstall.exe application in Windows . But when I insert the usb in the Bigip appliance and power on the unit appears the following error:

 

 

USB storage device found ... General USB Flash Disk USB Device

 

 

 

IDE storage device found ... IDE 0/Pri Master, SILICONSYSTEMS INC 8GB-

Somebody know this error?

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

 

  • i suspect it relates to master boot record. can you try to clear master boot record?

  • Exacly, but I can't clear the MBR without access to the instalation menu of the version 9.4.6

     

     

    I have boot from USB but i cannot.

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks and regards

     

     

  • sorry i forgot you can't boot from usb.

     

     

    what about pxe? do you have vmware on your laptop? can you make it as pxe server?
  • I can't acess any of the interfaces so i can't use pex server

     

     

    Only I can access to the grub menu.

     

     

    Tahnks.
