Chapter 4 Device Configurations and Software Images
Software Images
Note We recommend that you do not commit package changes until the device runs with its configuration for
a period of time, until you are sure the change is appropriate. In that way, the change is not yet persisted
across device reloads.
Before You Begin
• Verify that the package to be committed is op eratin g p r oper ly ( f or example, by doing a show status
command).
• The device VNE (the device model in Prime Network) must be in a managed state when you ru n the
command. (This means the VNE Communication State must be Reachable, and the Investigation
State must be Normal or Incomplete. For more information on VNE states, see the
Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.)
• Make sure you have the permissions to perform the commit operation. You will not be allowed to
schedule a commit job, if you do not have permissions.
To commit a package after it has been activated, deactivated, or rolled back:
Step 1 Choose Images > Commit.
Step 2 Choose the network elements with the packages you want to commit.
Step 3 Click one of the following (in the table header) to specify the commit mode:
• Commit in Parallel—Commits all changes at the same time.
• Commit Sequentially—Allows you to define the order in which the changes are committed.
Step 4 Enter the scheduling information.
Note The time you specify here to schedule the commit job is the server time.
Step 5 Enter the e-mail ID(s) to which to send a notification e-mail after the scheduled comm it job is comple te.
For two or more users, enter a comma-separated list of e-mail IDs. A notification e-mail is sent based
on the e-mail option specified in the Image Management Settings page.
Step 6 Click Commit. By default, jobs are scheduled to run as soon as possible.
Roll Back Cisco IOS XR Packages Rolling back a Cisco IOS XR package reverts the device packages to a previous installation
state—specifically, to a package installation rollback point. If a package has been removed from a
device, all rollback points associated with the package are also removed and it is no longer possible t o
roll back to that point.
Before You Begin
• Read Software Images, page 4-26, for information about managing rollback points on
Cisco IOS XR devices.
• The device VNE (the device model in Prime Network) must be in a managed state when you ru n the
command. (This means the VNE Communication State must be Reachable, and the Investigation
State must be Normal or Incomplete. For more information on VNE states, see the
Cisco Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.)
