Cisco Systems RSP8 manual Ensuring that Both RSPs Contain the Same Microcode Image

Configuring High System Availability

Note Standard 16-, 20-, or 32-MB Flash memory cards are supported with the RSP8. (The 20-MB Flash memory card is currently the default.) See Flash Memory Card Installation Instructions for detailed information. You should specify slot0 or slot1 in your command, depending on which slot you are using.

Standard 48-MB, 64-MB, and 128-MB Flash Disks are supported with the RSP8. See Using the Flash Disk for additional information. You should specify slot0 or slot1 in your command, depending on which slot your are using.

The following example ensures that both RSPs have the same system image. Note that because no environment variables are set, the default environment variables are in effect for both the active and the standby RSP.

Router# show bootvar

BOOT variable =

CONFIG_FILE variable =

Current CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Configuration register is 0x0

Slave auto-sync config mode is on

current slave is in slot 7 BOOT variable = CONFIG_FILE variable = BOOTLDR variable does not exist

Configuration register is 0x0

Ensuring that Both RSPs Contain the Same Microcode Image

To ensure that both RSPs have the same microcode images, use the following commands beginning in privileged EXEC configuration mode:

	Command		Purpose
Step 1	Router# show controller cbus		Determines the microcode images used on the
			interface processors. If all interface processors are
			running from the bundled system microcode, no
			further action is required.
Step 2	Router# dir {bootflash: slot0: slot1:}		If any interface processors are running from the
			Flash memory file system, verifies the location and
			version of the active RSP supplementary microcode.
