Greetings!
Last weekend I installed a new redundant supervisor (VS-S720-10G) to our WS-C6509-E chassis. Everything went smoothly, the new sup booted into IOS and redundancy was established in RPR mode (due to different IOS versions). We want to run SSO mode, so I copied the 12.2(33)SXH4 IOS image from sup-bootdisk to the same location on slavesup-bootdisk, set and verified bootvars, waited a while to make sure the configs are synced, and reset the new supervisor.
I don't know if it's relevant that the IOS image I copied over to the redundant module (SXH4) is older than the version it shipped with (SXH5), but anyways this is where the problems started.
Booting up, the IOS image decompressed successfully, I got to the "running startup...." message in the console, and then nothing. All LEDs on the supervisor were red, and show module reported status Other. Thinking maybe something went wrong copying the SXH4 image, I reset the module again, interrupted the boot sequence, and booted the SXH5 image from ROMMon. Again, stuck after decompressing the image (this time the Status LED was green and the others dark, but module status still Other). Next I wondered if my startup-configuration could somehow be corrupt and prevent IOS from booting, so I tried to boot from ROMMon with "ignore system config info" enabled, but still no success using either image.
Now I'm stumped, and I would really appreciate it if anyone could offer some inputs about what to try next. Thanks.
Below is a console capture of a couple of show commands on the main supervisor, and of trying to boot the SHX4 image with startup-config ignored and diagnostic mode enabled. Nothing happens after "running startup...." is displayed in the console no matter how long I wait, module LEDs glow red, and status remains Other.
