Sim 8.1x47 - Change Ser + Sys ID - PANIC

mskubski — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:20:44 GMT

Hello,

I try to setup a second Cluster-Mode Node. After I did the change procedure:

SIMLOADER> setenv SYS_SERIAL_NUM 4034389-06-2

SIMLOADER> setenv bootarg.nvram.sysid 4034389062

and boot, the System asks to overwrite the values ... ???

If I say yes or no, in both cases the System panics!

Any Idea?

Thank you

regards

Maurice

Please follow the directions from the below link, you should be good to go.

you should apply the system serials, boot parameters and initialize the boot or some thing like that in the menu. I will zero the disks and reboots.

thank you,

At which point? It has to be the very first action before simulator is booted even once. I never managed to recover after I changed sysid under initialized simulator.
