Appendix A Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades
Upgrade Procedures for PXM Cards and Service Modules
Step 1
Copy the new boot software files for the service module to the switch as described in the “
” section, which appears earlier in this appendix.
Step 2
Establish a CLI session with the switch using a user name with SERVICE_GP privileges or higher.
Step 3
To burn the new service module boot code, enter the burnboot command as follows:
pop20one.7.PXM.a >
burnboot <
slot> <revision>
Caution
If the card is removed or reset, or if switch power is interrupted during the boot software upgrade, the
upgrade will not complete, the card will not operate, and the card must be returned to Cisco for repair.
Replace <slot> with the slot number of a standalone service module or service module operating in
standby mode. Replace <revision> with the software revision number to which you are upgrading. For
example:
pop20one.7.PXM.a >
burnboot 1 3.0(0.0)
Step 4
When prompted to confirm the upgrade, type y and press Return.
After you confirm the upgrade, the new boot code is burned into the service module and the card is reset.
Be patient, the card reset takes some time. You can enter the dspcds command to display the status of
the card. At first, the status may show that the card slot is empty or the card is rebooting. Reenter the
command periodically to see the current status of the card. When the card status returns to active or
standby, you are ready to continue.
Step 5
To confirm that the service module is now using the correct boot code, enter the dspcd <slot> command.
The Boot FW Rev row in the display should show the new revision as shown in the following example:
8850_NY.7.PXM.a >
dspcd 1
