Explanation The processor has failed to download its startup configuration from the supervisor
engine. The processor will use the default configuration. The Gigabit Ethernet interface will be shut
down.
Recommended Action Move the processing functions to an alternate processor, or manually configure
the processor from the console. Alternatively, manually download the configuration from the
supervisor engine by entering the copy tftp://supervisor-ip/SLOTxPCy.cfg running-config
command, with supervisor-ip being replaced with 128.0.0.1 if the active supervisor engine is in slot
1, or supervisor-ip being replaced with 128.0.0.2 if the active supervisor engine is in slot 2. In the
filename SLOTxPCy.cfg, x should be replaced with the slot number of the MWAM, and y should
be replaced with the failed processor number. To correct the problem, verify that access to the
configuration files on the supervisor engine has been enabled (the no mwam bootflash access
command disables access). Verify that the supervisor engine image supports centralized
configuration by entering the mwam bootflash access command. If you require further assistance,
copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Perform the following
actions:
1.
Enter the show module command.
2.
Enter the debug tftp events command on the supervisor module and reload the processor that failed in order to to gather data that may help identify the nature of the error.
3.

%C6K_MWAM_CENTRALIZED_CONFIG-1-NV_EXCEEDED
: Config file [chars] size ([int])
exceeds allowed size ([int]). Deleting local startup-config
Explanation There is not enough space in local NVRAM to save the configuration after reading from
the supervisor. The size of configuration should be reduced.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant,
upgrade to a larger memory configuration.
Error Message
%C6K_MWAM_CENTRALIZED_CONFIG-3-NVRAM_CHANGE_FAILED
: Mode remains [chars], [chars]
Explanation When the configuration mode (config-mode) was being changed from supervisor to
local mode, an attempt was made to copy the running configuration to NVRAM
(nvram:startup-config). When the configuration mode was being changed from local to supervisor
mode, an attempt was made to copy the running configuration to a file on the bootflash of the
supervisor engine. One of these copy operations has failed.
Recommended Action If you are changing the configuration mode from supervisor to local mode,
enter the write erase command, wait for the NVRAM to reinitialize, and then retry the operation.
If you are changing the configuration mode from local to supervisor mode, verify that the no
bootflash access command has not been entered on the supervisor engine. Verify that there is room
on the bootflash of the supervisor engine. Enter the squeeze command to obtain more space on the
bootflash memory. If the problem persists, enter the following commands:
–
The dir nvram: command on the MWAM
–
The show bootflash: command on the supervisor engine
–
The show running-config command on the MWAM
–
The show running-config command on the supervisor engine

%C6K_MWAM_CENTRALIZED_CONFIG-5-UPLD_FAILURE
: Failed to upload config to [chars]
on supervisor. slavebootflash:is hosted on the standby supervisor engine. Failure
to write to the slavebootflash: may be safely ignored when there is no standby
supervisor engine. Otherwise, check for space on supervisor, squeeze supervisor
bootflash: and slavebootflash: as needed
Explanation The processor has failed to upload the running configuration to the indicated supervisor
engine.
Recommended Action Perform one or more of the following actions:
–
Ensure that the mwam bootflash access command has been entered.
–
Verify that there is file space available on the active bootflash and redundant bootflash on the supervisor. It may be necessary to delete files by entering the squeeze bootflash: command from the supervisor engine console to create additional file space. A failure to write to the redundant bootflash is indicative of an error only if there is a standby supervisor in the chassis. The redundant bootflash must be accessed from the console of the active supervisor engine.
–
Verify that internal communication is present by entering the session slot slot-number processor processor-number command, with slot-number and processor-number being the slot number and processor number, respectively, of the affected line card. If the session fails for all processors on the MWAM card, it may be necessary to enter the hw-module module slot slot-number reset command to reestablish the communication paths.

: Config uploaded to [dec]
supervisor file system(s)
Explanation The MWAM processor is in MWAM config-mode supervisor mode, and the
configuration has been successfully saved to one or more supervisor engines.
Recommended Action No action is required. If the number of supervisors indicated in the message
text does not match the number that have been installed, you may have to verify that the files on the
bootflash and standby bootflash of the supervisor engine are the latest versions. If the files on the
active and standby bootflash are not current, perform the following actions:
1.
Delete extra files and enter the squeeze command on the device on which the downlevel files reside.
2.
Save the configuration again or manually copy the file from one supervisor engine to the supervisor engine that has the downlevel files.
