Upgrading to the PRP

 

 

Step 4

If the Cisco IOS version is not the same as the one running on the GRPs, delete

 

 

the image from the disk using the delete disk1: filename command (or the delete

 

 

stby-disk1:filenamecommand if the Flash disk is in the standby RP). If the image

 

 

is correct, continue with Step 7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note Before you delete the image, verify that you have a copy of this image on

 

 

 

 

another disk or at another location.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Use the copy tftp: disk1: command to copy onto the Flash disk a PRP image that

 

 

is the same as that currently running on the GRPs (in this example, 12.0(26)S).

 

 

PRP images are titled c12kprp-<feature set>-<compression>.120-<release id>.

 

 

You will receive an error that the PRP image is not executable on the GRP. When

 

 

prompted to abort the copy, type n.

 

 

Use the copy tftp: stby-disk1:command if the Flash disk is in the standby RP.

 

 

Router# copy tftp: disk1:

 

 

Address or name of remote host [172.16.16.254]?

 

 

Source filename [c12kprp-boot-mz.120-26.S]? c12kprp-p-mz.120-26.S

 

 

Destination filename [c12kprp-p-mz.120-26.S]?

 

 

Accessing tftp://172.16.16.254/c12kprp-p-mz.120-26.S...

 

 

%Warning: File not a valid executable for this system

 

 

Abort Copy? [confirm] n

 

Step 6

To verify that the image has been copied correctly, verify the MD5 hash for the

 

 

new image on disk1:. To do this, use the command verify /md5 disk1image-name.

 

 

The resulting string should be compared against the MD5 hash value posted on

 

 

the Software download page on Cisco.com.

 

Step 7

Place the Flash disk referred to in Step 5 back into the PRP Flash disk drive.

 

Step 8

Repeat Step 2 through Step 7 for the second PRP to be installed as standby.

 

Step 9

Remove any existing boot system commands from the running configuration by

 

 

using the command no boot system. This will make the PRP boot from the image

 

 

on the Flash disk.

 

Step 10

Remove the standby GRP from the router.

 

Step 11

Insert the PRP into the router in place of the standby GRP. The PRP will now

 

 

begin to load the Cisco IOS image contained on the Flash disk. At this stage, even

 

 

though a GRP and a PRP are in the chassis simultaneously, the router remains in

 

 

SSO or RPR+ mode because the RPs are running the same image.
