it ssys slot0 and sup-bootdisk are not a bootable devices any ideas 

best regards

Hello Omar2,

It sounds like you may have a sup720 or something similar. They have two CPU's and two sets of flash storage. Bootdisk is for route processor (RP) flash storage and sup-bootdisk is for switch processor (SP) flash storage.

When sup first boots up it boots SP first, then switches to RP and finishes booting. But SP only sees its own flash storage as "bootdisk" during bootup and while in rommon. You can see available storage locations in rommon with "dev" command. Try checking for bootdisk directory when in rommon and running "dir" command for that directory to see images you can use.

Hello Omar2,

 

From there you need to use the command "boot bootflash:filename" to boot an image.

 

It looks like the module is failing some diagnostics, with might not be a good sign. Can you do the following and let me know the output.

 

From rommon run the command "priv". This unlocks secret rommon commands.

 

Then run "cat bootflash:diaginfo_mod1_20180716-212027". This command should show the output of the diaginfo file, which may contain results of diagnostic failures seen during bootup.

Hello Omar2,

 

Thanks for the output.

 

There is major diagnostic error seen during bootup. the TestFirmwareDiagStatus is failing. Any chance that this supervisor can be replaced?

yes i have 3 supervisors , currently there are 2 attached to the core and the third one is not what should i do ? 

Hello Omar2,

You can try booting the other images in bootflash and see if the supervisor will boot up.

However, if the major diagnostic errors continue to occur, then the supervisor may need to be replaced due to hardware failure.
