While testing out some sup720 upgrade parts, I've run into something strange. About 10% of the time, after a reload, I'll get the following behavior:
System Bootstrap, Version 8.5(1) Copyright (c) 1994-2006 by cisco Systems, Inc. Cat6k-Sup720/SP processor with 1048576 Kbytes of main memory Autoboot executing command: "boot disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF12.bin" Loading image, please wait ... monlib.open(): Open Error = -35 loadprog: error - on file open boot: cannot load "disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF12.bin" System Bootstrap, Version 8.5(1) Copyright (c) 1994-2006 by cisco Systems, Inc. Cat6k-Sup720/SP processor with 1048576 Kbytes of main memory Autoboot executing command: "boot bootflash:" disk0 is a 1GB CF card. The rest of the time, it boots up properly. I've been repeatedly reloading this sup720-3bxl for the past 45 minutes, and haven't discovered any pattern or reason for this behavior. Google and cco searches for "monlib.open(): Open Error = -35" give no results. What does this error mean? I see from http://cio.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/rommon/OL_5631.html that there was a similar sounding issue fixed in sp rom-mon 8.5(1) where booting from a 512MB CF might fail. Is 512MB the largest size CF cards we should be trying to use in the sup720-3bxl? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
