6509 Dual SUP File Copy

A little tidbit about copying files from the primary SUP to the redundant SUP when doing an IOS upgrade or for any other reason. You need to copy that same file to the redundant SUP to make sure it boots up as well. If not it will not boot and show up as Other status and a diagnostics of not applicable.

General Copy from TFTP to Flash
6509#copy ftp flash
Address or name of remote host [10.1.1.1]?
Source filename [s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin]? /desktop/s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin
Destination filename [flash]? s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin
Accessing ftp://10.1.1.1//desktop/s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin...
Loading /desktop/s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[OK - 74788836/4096 bytes]

74788836 bytes copied in 184.176 secs (406073 bytes/sec)


Now Copy from the file from the Primary SUP to the Redundant SUP
6509#copy disk0: slavedisk0:
Source filename []? s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin
Destination filename [s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH5.bin]?
Copy in progress... CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
74788836 bytes copied in 262.984 secs (284385 bytes/sec)


If you have (Other) instead of (Hot) in the top section and a Not Applicable in the bottom section when executing a show module command, your Redundant SUP likely did not boot properly. This will happen if you forget to copy over the IOS to the Redundant SUP module.
