VSS standby switch not booting properly - standby cold

[harshal.tandel]

standby switch went into standby cold state instead of standby hot.

We rebooted standby switch but still same output.

Can you post complete output :

#show redundancy

why your -Configuration register = 0x2101 (it should be 0x2102)

other thing, should be bootflash ? or is this typo :

bootflas:cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.06.03.E.152-2.E3.bin,1;

Its resolved by rebooting both switches and failover to other one ....
