From the shell prompt, run ifconfig to determine the Ethernet IP address and
network mask of device "eth0". Then follow the previous steps to establish
communication via Ethernet.
Web-based Rescue
The web page for the MVI56E-LDM module contains a command to recover the
module on the left-side of the page.
Open the web page for the module by entering the IP address of the module in
the address bar. (your PC/workstation should have an IP address and the same
sub-network).
On the left-side of the page, under Functions, click on Rescue Module. Follow
the instructions to set the module back to its default state.
Note: Most loaded components are left intact by this operation so it may be necessary to make
enough room on the module for the rescue to work. In addition, the Setup Jumper must be in place
for the rescue to function properly.
Manual Rescue
If the default web pages are unavailable, a manual rescue may be required.
Perform the following steps to manually return the module to its default state:
1. Establish a terminal session to the module using either the Serial or
Ethernet port.
2. Ensure that the following file exists:
/backup/systemrestore.tgz
3. Run the following command to remove any startup scripts that may be
interfering with the bootup process:
rm -f /etc/init.d/*
4. Restore the configuration and executables using the following command:
tar -xzf /backup/systemrestore.tgz -C /
5. If successful, reboot the system.
