I can trying to boot up all my SG5712 nodes into "sgamaintenance", and one node did this successfully, but the other two complaint with this
`Execution of '/usr/sbin/shutdown' may cause loss of data or put the node into an unknown state.
A support call should be placed if this condition persists.
If this condition is understood, bypass by adding '--force-stop-reboot' to '/usr/sbin/shutdown '.

Command '/usr/sbin/shutdown' aborted.`

Because this system needs to be nuked anyway I just did the "/usr/sbin/shutdown --force-stop-reboot"...
But the nodes are not comming up again and I cannot ping them... which is a bit worrying...
I have connected management port 1 on both the SG node and the E-Series, and I also have the serial port connected to each.
On the serial I can see a login prompt "eos-a login:" and I am unable to login with whatever username/password i test?

My plan was to boot them all up into maint mode change a few IPs arround, then boot them into normal mode again, and run the "sgareinstall" (I hope they keep their IPs when I run this?)

Sadly I am unable to do a power-flip form where I am... (200KM from the datacenter)

Any suggestions so how I can "beat" them into submission and save me a trip to the datacenter?

...I have requested remote hands to do a power-cycle.. 🙂 lets see if that helps...

Hmm apparently "--force-stop-reboot" does not forcestop 😉 We had to power off the nodes and they then rebooted up into maint mode...
