At the switch# prompt on the booted supervisor module, issue the reload module slot force-dnld command, where slot is the slot number of the supervisor module with the corrupted bootflash. The supervisor module with the corrupted bootflash performs a netboot and checks the bootflash for corruption. When the bootup scripts discover that the bootflash is corrupted, it generates an init system command, which fixes the corrupt bootflash. The supervisor boots as the HA Standby. Caution If your system has an active supervisor module currently running, you must issue the system standby manual-boot command in EXEC mode on the active supervisor module before issuing the init system command on the standby supervisor module to avoid corrupting the internal bootflash:. After the init system command completes on the standby supervisor module, issue the system no standby manual-boot command in EXEC mode on the active supervisor module.
