Cisco Systems RSP8 manual Upgrading to a New Software Version Example

Configuring High System Availability

	Command	Purpose
Step 5	Router(config)# boot system flash bootflash:[filename]	Configures the active RSP to boot the new image from
	or	the appropriate location.
	Router(config)# boot system flash slot0:[filename]	Note In this procedure, the image that you specify in
		this command only resides on the first, or active,
	or
		RSP.
	Router(config)# boot system flash slot1:[filename]
Step 6	Router(config)# boot system flash bootflash:[filename]	Configures a second boot system command that
	or	specifies the boot image and location on the standby
		RSP.
	Router(config)# boot system flash slot0:[filename]
		Note This is the boot image that the standby uses
	or
		when it boots the system as the active RSP,
	Router(config)# boot system flash slot1:[filename]	assuming that the image file that you specified in
		the first boot system command does not exist on
		the second RSP. Therefore, when the standby
		RSP cannot locate the image in the first boot
		system command, it uses the image specified in
		this second command.
Step 7	Router(config)# boot system {rcp tftp ftp} filename	(Optional) Configures the active RSP to boot from a
	[ip-address]	network server.
Step 8	Router(config)# config-registervalue 1	Sets the configuration register to enable loading of the
		system image from a network server or Flash memory.
Step 9	Router(config)# end	Exits global configuration mode and returns you to
		privileged EXEC configuration mode.
Step 10	Router# copy running-config nvram:startup-config	Saves the configuration file to the active RSP startup
		configuration. Because automatic synchronization is
		turned on, this step saves the boot system commands to
		the active and the standby startup configuration.
Step 11	Router# reload	Resets the router with the new configuration
		information.

Upgrading to a New Software Version Example

Note The following examples show systems with two RSP8s.

The following example describes an upgrade scenario under the following conditions:

•The active RSP8 is in processor slot 6, and the standby RSP8 is in processor slot 7 of a Cisco 7513 or Cisco 7513-MX.

•Both the active and the standby RSPs currently use the same Cisco IOS Enterprise image, rsp-pv-mz.120-23.S, in PC Card slot 0.

•We want to upgrade one RSP to run Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22.3)S1, and allow the other RSP to run Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)S. To guard against software failures, we will configure HSA operation for software error protection.
