Chapter 23 Configuring Redundancy
Configuring Redundant Supervisor Engines on the Switch
•
The expected results are as follows:
–
The active supervisor engine
f1
image is not copied to the standby supervisor engine.
–
The standby supervisor engine bootstring is modified to the following:
bootflash:f2,1;bootflash:f1,1;
.
–
The standby supervisor engine is not reset.
Example 4: File copied, oldest file deleted, bootflash squeezed, bootstring modified, standby supervisor engine not reset
The configuration for this example is as follows:
•
The active supervisor engine configuration is as follows:
–
Run-time image:
bootflash:f1
–
Bootstring:
bootflash:f1,1;
–
Bootflash:
f1,f2
•
The standby supervisor engine configuration is as follows:
–
Run-time image:
bootflash:f1
–
Bootstring:
bootflash:f1,1;
–
Bootflash:
f0,f1,f3
(less than 1 MB left on device)
•
The time stamp for
f1
on the active supervisor engine is the same as
f1
on the standby supervisor
engine. The time stamp for
f0
is older than
f1
, and the time stamp for
f1
is older than
f3
.
•
The active supervisor engine bootstring is modified to the following:
bootflash:f2,1;bootflash:f1,1;
•
The expected results are as follows:
–
The active supervisor engine attempts to copy its
f2
image to the standby supervisor engine.
–
Because there is not enough space available on the standby supervisor engine bootflash, the
redundant synchronization function finds the oldest file (
f0
), deletes it, and squeezes bootflash.
–
The active supervisor engine copies its
f2
image to the standby supervisor engine and renames
it
BTSYNC_f2
.
–
The standby supervisor engine bootflash is modified to the following:
f1, f3, BTSYNC_f2
.
–
The standby supervisor engine bootstring is modified to the following:
bootflash:BTSYNC_f2,1;bootflash:f1,1;
.
