[c-nsp] Sup720 ignores boot variable

[Painting, Stuart]

Check the value of the config register on the SP (remote command switch show bootvar). Odd things can happen if the SP and RP have different values for the config register.

Subject: [c-nsp] Sup720 ignores boot variable

Hi,

I am wondering why this sup720 ignores my boot variable and always boots
the first image it finds.

"dir" shows:
----------------------
Directory of sup-bootdisk:/

    1  -rw-    78212100   Jul 6 2010 17:27:04 +00:00 
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin
    2  -rw-    33554432   Jul 6 2010 17:36:30 +00:00  sea_log.dat
    3  -rw-   143347044  Jan 16 2014 21:47:46 +00:00 
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
----------------------

I tried:
boot system flash bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
as well as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
I removed the old boot entry.

after "wr mem" "sh bootvar" shows:
----------------------
BOOT variable =
(sup-)bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is not present.
----------------------

In both cases result is:
----------------------
Autoboot executing command: "boot bootdisk:"

Initializing ATA monitor library...
string is bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin
Loading image, please wait ...
----------------------

If I delete s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin it starts
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
(which is now first image rommon finds).
sh version:
----------------------
Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M),
Version 12.2(33)SXJ6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(17r)S4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
...
----------------------

I then upgraded rommon (sp with c6ksup720-rm2.8-5-4.srec, rp with
c6msfc3-rm2.srec.122-17r.SX7) but still shows:
Autoboot executing command: "boot bootdisk:"

Is there some kind of sync issue or rommon bug or did I forget something ?

kind regards
Rolf
