Specifying Different Startup Images for the Active and the Standby RSPs

For software error protection, the RSPs should have different system images.
When the factory sends you a new router with two RSP8s, you receive the same system image on both
RSPs. To configure the HSA feature for software error protection, you need two separate software
images on the RSPs. You copy a desired image to the active RSP card and modify the boot system
commands to reflect booting under two separate system images. Each RSP uses its own image to boot
the router when it becomes the active RSP.
To specify different startup images for the active and the standby RSPs, use the following commands in
beginning in privileged EXEC configuration mode:
Command
Step 1 Router# dir {bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:}
or
Router# show {bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:}
Step 2
Router# dir {slavebootflash: | slaveslot0: | slaveslot1:}
or
Router# show {slavebootflash: | slaveslot0: |
slaveslot1:}
Step 3
Router# copy source {bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:}
Step 4 Router# configure terminal
