running the new-rev firmware. The primary VISM or VISM-PR card is unaffected by this command.
Step4 Execute the PXM newrev command:
newrev sm <SM slot#> <new-rev>
where:
SM slot# is the slot number of the primary VISM or VISM-PR card and new-rev is the filename of the
new firmware.
This command causes the primary VISM or VISM-PR card to r eset a nd the s econd ary VI SM or
VISM-PR card to become active and running the new-rev firmware.
Step5 Execute the PXM commit command:
commit sm <SM slot#> <new-rev>
where:
SM slot# is the slot number of the primary VISM or VISM-PR card and new-rev is the filename of the
new firmware.
The two VISM or VISM-PR cards are now back to their original condition except that both cards are
now running the new-rev firmware.

dspcasvar, and so forth) to confirm that the configuration has been preserved through the upgrade
process.
Note For more than one primary VISM or VISM-PR card in a redunda ncy gro up, ensur e tha t the sec ond ary

It is also recommended that you perform the following verifications:
•Make minor modifications to the configuration.
•Check that the changes have been executed correct ly.
