Obtaining Documentation

Step7 On the active ESR-PRE2 in privileged EXEC mode, enter the hw-module sec-cpu reset command to

reboot the standby ESR-PRE2. This will load the 12.2(28)SB image from bootflash, and the standby

PRE2 will come up in RPR mode.

Note The standby ESR-PRE2 is now in cold standby RPR state. It has not yet processed its configuration. You

can verify its redundancy mode using the show redundancy command on the active ESR-PRE2.

Step8 From the active ESR-PRE2, enter the redundancy force-switchover main-cpu command in privileged

EXEC mode. The standby ESR-PRE2 will become the new active ESR-PRE2 (running 12.2S), and the

former active ESR-PRE2 will become the standby ESR-PRE2. Check that the system is carrying traffic.

Verify the autoboot string and IOS version using the show bootvar and show version commands.

Note Now you should test the 12.2(28)SB image to determine whether or not a rollback to the previous version

is needed.

Step9 When you know that rollback is not needed, enter the write memory command from the active console

to bring the startup configuration up to date on the active and standby ESR-PRE2s.

If you need to roll back, follow the procedure in the next section.

If the newly active ESR-PRE2 does not operate satisfactorily after Step8, you can initiate a rollback

switchover to revert to the original 12.3 operating system.

To initiated a rollback switchover, follow these steps:

Step1 Copy the original startup configuration from the TFTP server to the startup configuration on the active

and standby ESR-PRE2s using the copy tftp startup and copy tftp stby-nvram:startup-config

commands.

Step2 Use the show bootvar command to verify that this action has modified the boot variable to point to the

old release image.

Step3 Enter the hw-module standby-cpu reset command from the active console. This command resets the

standby ESR-PRE2, which will autoboot to the old release image and come up as the standby ESR-PRE2

in RPR mode.

Step4 Enter the redundancy force-switchover main-cpu command from the active console. This is a

service-affecting step. The standby ESR-PRE2 will come up as the active ESR-PRE2 running the old

release. The standby ESR-PRE2 will autoboot to the old release, running in RPR+ mode.

You have now reverted to the original system configuration.
