the standby GRP can be accessed via the console. All you
need to do is get the standby booted with the same ios (by
having someone move the flash card if necessary)
and you can then get it up and access it via the sec-slot0: interface
provided.

i've also found that a possible problem is that
cards that are formatted on a 7500 don't work in 12000, etc.. so
you may want to format slot0: if necessary.

disk0: devices also may have this problem depending on the
"monlib" that is on the filesystem. This is typically
not easily visible so sometimes a format just to be sure
isn't out of line.

Perhaps one (the only?) time where the boot image on the GRP might have
helped? I've not tried it, but can you "attach" to the GRP slot when its
running on the boot image (probably not the ROMMON as it can't speak to the
MBUS).

Subject: [nsp] Any way to talk to the ROM monitor on GRP-B on a GSR?


Assuming I have a GSR (12016) with to GRPs, 20 MB flash cards in slot0
in both GRPs, running 12.0(22)S1 on the active processor, supposed to
run in RPR mode but the flash card on the standby GRP has been wiped
(thus after the reboot the standby processor doesn't really work as a
standby, since it has nothing to boot IOS from): Is there any way from
the active (running) GRP to talk to the ROM monitor on the standby GRP
in order to transfer an IOS image to the flash card on the standby GRP?

(The GSR in question is no longer in this state - it's easy enough to
fix with physical access to the router, moving around flash cards etc.
I just want to know if I could have done it without physical access to
the router.)

On a GSR you can use "exec" to execute IOS commands on a line card: exec
slot <slot-no> <command>

Never tried it with a GRP, though.
