Ensuring That Both Rsps Contain The Same System Image - Cisco RSP8 Installation And Configuration Manual

Automatic synchronization mode is on by default; however, to turn it on manually, use the following
commands beginning in privileged EXEC configuration mode:
Command
Step 1 Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# slave auto-sync config
Step 3
Router(config)# end
Step 4 Router# copy system: running-config nvram:startup-config
The following example turns on automatic configuration file synchronization:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# slave auto-sync config
Router(config)# end
Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

Ensuring that Both RSPs Contain the Same System Image

For simple hardware backup, ensure that both RSP cards have the same system image.
To ensure that both RSPs have the same system image, use the following commands beginning in
privileged EXEC configuration mode:
Command
Step 1 Router# show bootvar
Step 2 Router# dir {bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:}
or
Router# show {bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:}
Step 3
Router# dir {slavebootflash: | slaveslot0: |
slaveslot1:}
or
Router# show {slavebootflash: | slaveslot0: |
slaveslot1:}
Step 4
Router# copy {bootflash:[filename]|
slot0:[filename] |
slot1:[filename]}{slavebootflash:[filename] |
slaveslot0:[filename] | slaveslot1:[filename]}

standby's startup configuration.
Purpose
Displays the contents of the BOOT environment variable
to learn the current booting parameters for the active and
the standby RSP.
Verifies the location and version of the active RSP
software image.
Determines if the standby RSP contains the same
software image in the same location.
Copies the active's system image to the appropriate
standby location. Use this command if the standby RSP
does not contain the same system image in the same
location.
Deleted space is not reusable until after you
