FX2s chassis IOM A1 switch is rolling reboot.

Dell FX2s moduler chassis has 2 IOM (A1 & A2). A1 got stuck in an endless reboot loop.
How can we stop this and come back in normal state?

Please check the below boot logs

Hi, it could be due to corruptude firmware or mismatched image file. A potential way to fix the problem is to switch the IOM mode from standalone to PMUX mode, which gives more options and control over the switch. Please ensure you have a backup of any important data before making changes to your system. FX2/FX2S IO Aggregator Switch Programmable MUX Mode How to Configure and Change modes | Dell US

IOA PMUX is a mode that provides flexibility of operation with added configurability. This involves creating multiple LAGs, configuring VLANs on uplinks and the server side, configuring data center bridging (DCB) parameters, and so forth.
 
By default, IOA starts up in IOA Standalone mode. You can change to PMUX mode by executing the following commands and then reloading the IOA. After the IOA reboots, the IOA operates in PMUX mode. PMUX mode supports both stacking or VLT operations.


 
Configuring and Changing to Programmable MUX (PMUX) mode

 
 
Commands Parameters
FX2/FX2S_CMC$ connect switch-1 SSH into the IP address of the CMC on the FX2/FX2S chassis.  Run command to connect to the IOA command line.
