Chapter 9 Upgrading the Cisco IOS XE Software

Loading the New System Image

Loading the New System Image from GRUB Mode

To load the new system image from the GNU GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) mode, follow these steps beginning in EXEC mode.

Step 1 dir bootflash:

Use this command to display a list of all files and directories in bootflash memory:

Router# dir bootflash:

Directory of bootflash:/

 

 

 

3

-rw-

6458388

Mar 01 1993 00:00:58 csr1000v.tmp

 

 

 

1580

-rw-

6462268

Mar 06 1993 06:14:02 csr1000v-ata

 

 

 

63930368 bytes total (51007488 bytes free)

Step 2

configure terminal

 

 

 

 

Use this command to enter global configuration mode:

 

 

 

Router# configure terminal

 

 

 

Router(config)#

 

 

Step 3

boot system bootflash:system-image-filename.bin

 

 

 

 

 

Note

If the new system image is the first file or the only file displayed in the dir bootflash: command output

 

 

 

in Step 1, you do not need to perform this step.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this command to load the new system image after the next system reload or power cycle. For

 

 

 

example:

 

 

 

 

 

Router(config)# boot system bootflash:csr1000v-universalk9.03.10.00.S.153-3.S-ext.SPA.bin

Step 4

do write

 

 

 

 

 

or

 

 

 

 

 

 

do write memory

 

 

 

 

 

Router(config)# do write memory

 

 

 

 

 

Note

This step is required beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S if upgrading to a later version. Entering

 

 

 

the do write or do write memory command updates the GRUB menu list of images available on the

 

 

 

bootflash disk.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

config-register 0x0000

 

 

 

 

Use this command to enter GRUB mode.

 

 

 

The following shows an example of entering GRUB mode.

 

 

 

Router(config)# config-register 0x0000

 

 

 

GNU GRUB version 0.97

(638K lower / 3143616K upper memory)
