Upgrading Software on Redundant NRP-1s
Identify the New System Image as the Startup Image for the Secondary NRP-1
To ensure that the new image is used upon system reload, choose one of the following methods:
• Ensuring That the New System Image Is the First File in the Flash Memory , page B-9
or
• Updating the Boot System Variable, page B-10
Ensuring That the New System Image Is the First File in the Flash Memory
Complete the following steps to make sure that the new image is the first file in the secondary NRP-1’s
Flash memory. NRPslot5 is still the primary device, and NRPslot6 is still the secondary device.
Step 1 Use the dir EXEC command to list all files in the secondary NRP-1’s Flash memory.
NRPslot5# dir sec-flash:
Step 2 If the new system image is the first file listed, the image is already the startup image. Continue with the
“Reload the Secondary NRP-1” section on pageB-10.
If the new system image is not at the top of the list, and you want to save the files that are listed above
the new image, continue with Step 3 .
If you want to delete the files listed above the new image, continue with Step 4 .
Step 3 Use the copy EXEC command to back up the secondary NRP-1 Flash files to a TFTP server.
NRPslot5# copy sec-flash:filename tftp://10.1.1.1/filename1
NRPslot5# copy sec-flash:filename tftp://10.1.1.1/filename2
NRPslot5# copy sec-flash:filename tftp://10.1.1.1/filename3
...
Step 4 Use the delete EXEC command to mark the unwanted secondary NRP-1 files for deletion.
NRPslot5# delete sec-flash:filenames
Step 5 Use the squeeze EXEC command to permanently delete the secondary NRP-1 images that are marked
for deletion.
NRPslot5# squeeze sec-flash:
NRPslot5# squeeze sec-bootflash:
Step 6 If you performed Step 3, use the copy EXEC command to transfer the files back from the TFTP server
to the secondary NRP-1’s Flash memory.
NRPslot5# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/filename1 sec-flash:filename1
NRPslot5# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/filename2 sec-flash:filename2
NRPslot5# copy tftp://10.1.1.1/filename3 sec-flash:filename3
...
Step 7 Use the dir EXEC command to verify that the new system image is the first file listed in the secondary
NRP-1 Flash memory.
NRPslot5# dir sec-flash:
