After Factory Reset Cannot connect to management server

L3 Networker

Hi,

after i make a Factory Reset via Maintenance Mode with this HowTo -> https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Management-Articles/How-to-SSH-into-Maintenance-Mode/ta-p/59635 i cant connect via "www" to the management.

 

My new IP is default 192.168.1.1 and i can ping it. when connect via ssh i login with admin:admin then i see the message "System initializing; please wait... (CTRL-C to bypass) .. i wait more then 30min nothing. Then when i press CTRL-C i get the message Cannot connect to management server.

I cant start the process 

debug software restart process management-server

 and with show ..  

> show system resources | match mgmtsrvr

 i see nothing. 

Via serial cable there is the same problem.

 

i have panOS 8.0.8. 

When i use the Web login with admin:admin i get the message Connecting to Management Server failed. 

 

Any one an idea?

Its an PA200 with panOS 8.0.8

can you try rebooting (unplug-replug) and see what happens

 

a PA-200 is a little slower to boot up but should not take 30 minutes after a factory reset (after an upgrade this could be possible)

If the problem persists, you may want to go into maintenance mode again and try running some diagnostics : https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Management-Articles/How-to-Run-a-Hard-Disk-Drive-Performance-Te...

I could go into maintenance mode by booting. and then there i make a new "factory reset" and then the device cames back.

now it is every thing okay. thx a lot for help.

Hi, I'm also experiencing this on my PA 820. Did you found out the root cause?

Unfortunately, no. I simply re-established the factory state.
