HQIP Firmware Usage With FGT50B

[hervaltelecom]

Hello!

I need help regarding the procedures to use the HQIP firmware with an defective FGT50B. During boot via console i get the following error:

FGT50B (14:15-10.01.2008) Ver:04000010 Serial number:FGT50B3G11604210 RAM activation Total RAM: 256MB Enabling cache...Done. Scanning PCI bus...Done. Allocating PCI resources...Done. Enabling PCI resources...Done. Zeroing IRQ settings...Done. Verifying PIRQ tables...Done. Enabling Interrupts...Done. Boot up, boot device capacity: 64MB. Press any key to display configuration menu... ......

Reading boot image 1364800 bytes. Initializing firewall... System is started. stat('/data/./config/global_system_interface.gz') failed: Input/output error

I have uploaded the HQIP Firmware and run it but it gets stuck in this part:

Whitch is the next step so i can test this unit? Is it supposed to be executed automatically?

Based on the output, you'll likely have to reformat the 50B before installing/running any firmware.   If you have not already backed up the config on it (and need to), you could try booting from the backup firmware (assuming it is not the original diag firmware) and see if you can log into the device that way.

Hello Dave

A have do what you said but eve then the same error appears:

Nothing happens after this. Is there a comprehensive step-by-step i can follow?

Thanks.

Yeah i know its old, but it works for us. It has everything we need.

Give the format a try but the HQIP image runs from flash IIRC. So I bet you have some other problem(s). A FGT50B is quite old so good luck in whatever your outcome becomes.

Thanks Emnoc, but sadly it didnt help my case. There is still that pid=1 get something at the end. The error gets resolved after a reformat and reflashing of the firmware, But i would like to learn how to use this firmware to diagnose units that are close to death.

Thanks.
