Upgrading Images with Single Router Mode Enabled
This section describes how to upgrade the Cisco IOS image on the active and standby MSFC when SRM
is running. The new image name is c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E. The standby MSFC cannot load an image using
TFTP, but it can load an image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card (sup-slot0:).
Note
This procedure impacts the data traffic. We recommend that you perform this procedure during a
scheduled maintenance window.
To upgrade the images, perform these steps:
Step 1
On the active supervisor engine, enter the
copy tftp sup-slot0:
command and follow the prompts to load
the new (c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E) image onto the supervisor engine Flash PC card.
Step 2
If you have a console connection, enter the
switch console
command to access the active MSFC. If you
are connected through a Telnet session, enter the
session
mod
command to access the active MSFC.
Step 3
On the active MSFC, copy the new image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card to the MSFC
bootflash as follows:
copy sup-slot0:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E
Step 4
Access the standby MSFC by entering the
switch supervisor
command and then the
switch console
command on the active supervisor engine.
Note
The standby MSFC does not appear in the
show module
command display that is issued from the active
supervisor engine.
Step 5
On the standby MSFC, copy the new image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card to the MSFC
bootflash as follows:
copy sup-slot0:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E
Step 6
On the active MSFC, specify that the new image is booted when the MSFC is reloaded as follows:
boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E
