Chapter 6 Preparing RPM Cards for Operation
Initializing RPM Cards
Note
If the runtime file is missing, you can transfer the correct file to the switch. This procedure is
described in
Appendix A, “Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades.”
Step 3
Enter the cc command to select the card slot in which the RPM card is installed. For example:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a>
cc
9
(session redirected)
Router>
As shown in the example, the switch displays the prompt for the Cisco IOS software on the RPM card.
Step 4
Verify the configuration status of the RPM card by entering the show bootflash: command. For example:
Router>
show bootflash:
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
1 .. image BAC7D50E 2B80EC 27 2588780 Jul 12 2001 23:05:26 rpm-boot-mz_122-4.T
2 .. config 0EC2C678 2B84F0 18 898 Jul 12 2001 16:04:41 auto_config_slot09
30178064 bytes available (2589936 bytes used)
The bootflash contents should contain only the boot file and no configuration files. The example above
contains a configuration file (auto_config_slot09), which must be deleted before you initialize the card.
Instructions for deleting files appear later in this procedure.
Step 5
Enter enable mode. For example:
Router>
enable
Password:
Router#
Note
The default password for enable mode is supplied with your switch. To secure access to your
RPM cards, change this password. For information on changing the Enable password, refer to
the Cisco IOS documentation.
Step 6
If the bootflash contains any configuration files, use the delete command to mark them for deletion. For
example:
Router
#delete bootflash:auto_config_slot09
Delete filename [auto_config_slot09]?
Delete bootflash:auto_config_slot09? [confirm]
y
This command marks files for deletion, but it does not delete them. The next step removes any files
marked for deletion.
Step 7
If the bootflash contains configuration files marked for deletion, remove these files by entering the
squeeze command. For example:
Router#
squeeze bootflash:
All deleted files will be removed. Continue? [confirm]
y
Squeeze operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
y
Squeeze of bootflash complete
To verify the current bootflash contents, enter the show bootflash: command.
