Step 3
When you finish copying the image, take the SIMM back to the same slot in the Catalyst 6000.
Before the system failing, the bootvar in the Catalyst 6000 may have had the following information:
C6000-IOS#
sh bootvar
BOOT variable = sup-bootflash:c6sup-jsdbg-mz.120-6.5T.XE1.0.90.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable = bootflash:c6msfc-boot-mz.120-6.5T.XE1.0.90.bin
Configuration register is 0x2
If you did not have the bootldr variable set. you will get the following message and will have to bring
up the switch manually:
