Troubleshooting
Problem
When I log in to the CLI of an IBM MQ Appliance, I see the message:
"Notice: startup config contains errors".

Symptom
CLI login displays "Notice: startup config contains errors."
Cause
The MQ Appliance maintains a startup config file containing the most recent running configuration you saved (by using
If any of these recent configuration changes were invalid, the configuration instructions captured in the startup config file might not be longer valid.
Applying a new firmware that has deprecated previous commands or attributes might cause this error to occur.
write mem in the CLI or "Save" button in the web UI).If any of these recent configuration changes were invalid, the configuration instructions captured in the startup config file might not be longer valid.

Environment
Diagnosing The Problem
You can view the startup config error messages in the logtemp:///startup-errors file.
You can view the contents of the startup config file itself with the following CLI commands:
config
show startup-config
Resolving The Problem
Compare the error messages in the startup-errors file with the configuration instructions in startup-config.
Reconfigure the objects with erroneous configurations, save the configuration (this action changes the startup-config file), and log in to the CLI again.

If the issue is related to a firmware upgrade, the problem can be resolve by saving your current configuration on the appliance (that is, perform a
write mem).If you still see "Notice: startup config contains errors", try restarting the MQ Appliance.
If the Notice still appears, repeat the diagnosis, and resolution steps to see what remains to be reconfigured and saved to startup-config.
