Hi all,

When I am manually restarting the switch, boot loader  of the MSFC card entries are missing and going  to  rommon mode. I have to give boot command in MSFC everytime.

I will appreciate your help

Thanks.

  What boot statement are you using on the msfc side ?

Thanks for reply,

I'm using this

boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1

Router(boot)#show bootvar

BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1.bin,12;bootflash:c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1,1;

CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist

BOOTLDR variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1

Configuration register is 0x2102

Regards.

   You also need a boot statement pointing to the main IOS image and not just the bootloader image.  Where is the main MSFC image stored? Configure a boot statement pointing to the main IOS image.  Is the main image in msfc bootflash or the supervisor bootflash ? Current boot statement looks like msfc bootflash verify this . When fully booted up do a dir bootflash: and make sure the image that is specified is truly in msfc bootflash and  not in like sup-bootflash or  slot0: .

Thanks again for yor quick replay,

this is the  config of MSFC:

Router(boot)#dir bootflash:
bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1  bootflash:c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1.bin

Router(boot)#dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/

    1  -rw-     1611604   Jan 01 2003 05:11:21  c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1
    2  -rw-     7110024   Jan 01 2003 02:13:45  c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1.bin

Router(boot)#show startup-config

!

version 12.1

service timestamps debug uptime

service timestamps log uptime

no service password-encryption

!

hostname Router

!

boot system bootflash:c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1.bin

boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-js-mz.121-4.E1

boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-4.E1

!

ip subnet-zero

!

no ip http server

line con 0

transport input none

line vty 0 4

end

Now is working with MSFC2, Can I reset this MSFC1? If a sinc with this command after reboot:

redundancy

high-availability

config-sync

Can I lose this config in MSFC2?

Regards.
