boot system variable in 6513 issue...

ahmed.gadi · ‎10-24-2011

Dear All,

I have 6513 with 2 Supervisor Engines. I have uploaded new IOS image on both SUP by following commands

copy tftp://10.1.1.1/s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

copy tftp://10.1.1.1/s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin slavesup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

Change the boot variable to

boot system bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

after saving the config and reloading the Standby SUP,it didnot booted up and stuck on rommon1> unless i manually gave

rommon1> boot bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin it boots and when i tried to reload active SUP, it happened the same.

So can someone let me know, what boot variable location i have to define in boot system command.

CORE1#sh bootvar

BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin,12;

CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is up

Standby has 458720K/65536K bytes of memory.

Standby BOOT variable = sup-bootdisk:,1;

Standby CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

Standby BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Standby Configuration register is 0x2102

CORE1#sh run | in boot

boot system bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

Thanks & Regards

Hi!

You need to specify:

conf t

boot system flash sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

end

write mem

Please let me know any idea from your side.

Thanks & Regards

Check your config register on the layer 2 supervisor , my guess its incorrect and not set to 0x2102 . This is the layer 2 supervisor not the msfc supervisor . If it goes to rommon again type confreg 0x2102 , then do a reset or a power off reload and see what happens.

Hi Glen,

ConfReg is 0x2102 only.

CORE1#sh ver

Configuration register is 0x2102

1. Please check and confirm that we have the image present in bootdisk:.

2. Make standby sup as active and set its boot variable also to correct one. I can see that standby sup boot variable doesnt have any image name.

Standby BOOT variable = sup-bootdisk:,1;

3. Issue the below command to see the config register is set to 0x2102 on SP as well.

remote command switch show bootvar

Hope that helps.

Hi Sweta,

1.Image is present in sup-bootdisk:

CORE1#dir sup-bootdisk:

Directory of sup-bootdisk:/

.

CORE1#dir bootdisk:

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Can you please let me know the exact difference between bootdisk: and sup-bootdisk: ?

2. I tried making standby active and please see the below output, standby has boot variable defined.

CORE1#sh bootvar

BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin,1;

CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is up

Standby BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin,1;

Standby CONFIG_FILE variable =

Standby BOOTLDR variable =

Standby Configuration register is 0x2102

still whenever i reload it goes to

At the rommon prompt did you type "confreg 0x2102 ? Sh version shows me the msfc config register not the supervisor config register. You can session into the supervisor module to check.

ahmed.gadi · ‎11-17-2011

Hi Glen,

I tried to change confreg to 0x2102 on rommon mode, it asked me to reboot and after reboot it boots normally, i reloaded both SUP by changing confreg on rommon mode.

Now when i tried to reload active sup by switchover redundancy to standby after both SUP reloaded, it stops at rommon mode as before.please check the output below. ITS 7606 ROUTER

CORE#sh bootvar

BOOT variable = sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin,1;

CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby BOOT variable = sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin,1;

Standby CONFIG_FILE variable =

Standby BOOTLDR variable =

Standby Configuration register is 0x2102
