Hello,
I have a 6509 switch that once rebooted goes to the rommon prompt and requires me to intervene in order to get the switch to boot.
As far as I can see the boot command is OK and the boot variable points towards a file that exists in the bootflash. Below are some excerpts from the config and the console as the switch is reloaded. If anyone has any ideas as to what is missing I would appreciate it.
I am trying to boot using the IOS file: s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
The file is located on the internal sup-bootdisk
The supervisor is a SUP720-3B
Regards
A
