Explanation    The system software failed to reset the master/slave watchdog timer, which caused the timer to time out. This condition might indicate a software problem or a hardware problem.

Recommended Action    Copy the router configuration along with any other relevant information. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%RSP-3-MSFIX : Fixing [chars] by setting to default [chars]

Explanation    The characters shown can be either on the slave RSP setting or on the master RSP setting. The ROM monitor default slave RSP setting is not synchronized with the system configuration file specifications. During bootup, the system image detects the mismatch and modifies the ROM monitor setting to conform to these specifications. This mismatch has most likely occurred because a new RSP was being installed and booted in an HSA environment (dual RSPs) for the first time. Alternatively, in established HSA configurations, this message might result from a previous IPC error that occurred while the HSA environment was being reconfigured.

Recommended Action    Perform the following steps:

1. Determine which slot contains the current slave RSP by entering the show version or show boot command.

2. Determine which slot has been specified as the default slave RSP by entering the show configuration command. If there is no slave default-slot n command in the configuration file, the value defaults to the highest numbered CPU slot (slot 3 on a Cisco 7507 RSP, and slot 7 on a Cisco 7513).

If the slot number obtained in step 1 is the same as the number obtained in step 2, then no further action is required. You have configured HSA in simple hardware backup mode, and both RSPs are identical. However, if the two slot numbers differ, you have configured HSA in software error protection mode, and you will have different images running, depending on which RSP is currently the slave RSP.

If the slot numbers discovered in steps 1 and 2 differ, reload the router image to ensure that the desired system image is running. After the reload, the actual slave RSP will match the default slave RSP in the system configuration file.

For details about various HSA configuration modes, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Error Message 

%RSP-3-MSVERS : Master has m/s version [dec], slave has m/s version [dec]

Explanation    The master and slave are running software versions that are incompatible with the master/slave exchange process.

Recommended Action    If the slave image global configuration is used to override the default slave image from the bundle, the slave image is incompatible. Update either the master or slave image to ensure that the two are compatible. If the slave is running the image from the bundle, enter and record the output of the show version, show running-config, and show controller cbus commands. Report this information and the error message to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message

Error Message  

%RSP-2-QAERROR : [chars] error, [chars] at addr [hex] ([chars])
log [hex], data [hex] [hex]

Explanation    A hardware error has occurred. The message will specify the buffer header address and queue pointer that were the cause of the failure. The most likely cause of this problem is a defective RSP (either master or slave), or a defective card.

Recommended Action    If you have spare parts, try to swap the RSP or the cards to identify the faulty board. If you do not have any spare parts, or if you could not locate the defective card, contact your Cisco technical support representative with the detailed QAERROR diagnostic messages. This present message will be followed a list of QADIAG messages that give the number of elements in each hardware queue and duplicate buffer headers. A block of DMPMEM messages follow, which dump the buffer contents. Then another list of QADIAG messages will give information about the various queues of the interfaces present in the router. Provide all this information, along with the output of the show tech-support command, to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message 

%RSP-3-RESTART : [chars]

Explanation    The cBus buffer memory has been reset and reallocated. The exact nature of the problem is described in the error message.

Recommended Action    Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory configuration.

Error Message  

%RSP-3-SLAVECHANGE : Slave changed state from [chars] to [chars]

Explanation    The slave RSP has undergone a hardware state change. Both the old state and new state are shown. Possible state changes indicated by the above message are the following: any to unplugged, unplugged to nonparticipant, slave nonparticipant to slave, or slave to nonparticipant. Any other combination is unexpected.

Recommended Action    If the slave RSP has been removed, consider reinstalling the RSP if continued HSA operation is required. If the RSP is present, ensure that the slave RSP is properly seated in the card cage. If a slave RSP was installed, configure the router for HSA. Refer to the chapter "Loading System Images and Configuration Files" (Cisco 7500 series only) in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide for more details. In particular, use the slave sync config command to ensure that the new slave RSP is configured consistently with the current master RSP.


Caution Failure to ensure a consistent configuration on a freshly installed slave RSP might result in undefined behavior if the router reloads.

Possibly, a previously crashed slave RSP was reset, or a newly installed slave RSP is in transition from unplugged to nonparticipant, and finally to slave state. In this case, no action is required. The slave RSP image has crashed. Log in to the slave RSP console using the if-console slot command. You will now be connected to the ROM monitor prompt on the slave RSP. Diagnose the slave RSP failure (for example, capture the output from the stack and context ROM monitor commands). Provide that information to your Cisco technical support representative with the router configuration and any other relevant information so that the problem can be investigated. Log out from the slave route RSP console port using a Ctrl-c or Ctrl-z key sequence, and enter the slave reload command in global configuration mode on the master RSP to bring the slave RSP back online. All other state changes indicate a software or hardware error.

Error Message 

%RSP-3-SLAVECOPYFAILED : Copy of [chars] failed, ([chars]).

Explanation    The copy of the file sent to the slave has failed.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the corresponding slave device exists and has available memory.

%RSP-3-SLAVEMASTER : Slave stole mastership

Explanation    The master RSP has detected that the slave RSP configuration has been changed from slave to master. The old master RSP will reload and become the slave RSP, which allows the new master RSP take over. This behavior indicates a software or hardware error.

Recommended Action    Copy the router configuration along with any other relevant information. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%RSP-4-SLAVENOTUPDATED : Slave configuration not updated for [chars].

Explanation    The configuration on the slave RSP cannot be synchronized with the master RSP.
