Force10 S4810 won't load Startup-config at boot

Hi!

Somehow, my startup-config is present but when I reload the device, it won't load automatically into running config until I do it myself with copy start run

What do I miss?

Thanks for your help!

You might want to take a look at bootvar and see what it is pointed to before you manually load your image.

CURRENT CONFIG FILE 1 = flash://startup-config

CONFIG LOAD PREFERENCE = local first

Force10# show bootvar

Page 26 of the command reference guide below discusses options to set the location and name of the configuration file that is loaded.

Hope this helps,

Also, check the reload type for BMP. Jumpstart mode can bypass the startup-config. You would typically see this if the switch is continuously attempting to boot from DHCP
