The Standby BOOT variable (Is it okay if it is showing disk0: not slavedisk0: ?)

[conceptzone]

I have Cisco Cat 6500 with dual Supervisor Engines 720.

My questions is : Is it normal that the Stanby BOOT is showing disk0: ? I thought it will make sense if it is showing slavedisk0:

More details will be indeed appreciated.

Router#show boot

BOOT variable = disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI5.bin,12;

CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable =

Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is up

Standby has 1048576K/65536K bytes of memory.

Standby BOOT variable = disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI5.bin,12;

Standby CONFIG_FILE variable =

Standby BOOTLDR variable =

Standby Configuration register is 0x2102

Thanks,

Yes, It is normal to have your boot string pointing to disk0. You have to remember when your supervisors boot up they have no concept of slave file locations. Your boot strings should always point to files located on the local supervisor such as bootflash or disk0 (obviously the same file and location on dual supervisors).

HTH,
