Upgrading Software on Redundant NRP-1s
Updating the Boot System Variable
If you completed the steps described in the “Ensuring That the New System Image Is the First File in the
Flash Memory” section on pageB-9, skip this section and continue with the “Reload the Secondary
NRP-1” section on pageB-10.
Complete the following steps from the primary NRP-1 to update both the primary and secondary NRP-1
configurations to reflect the new startup image. NRPslot5 is still the primary device, and NRPslot6 is
still the secondary device.
Step 1 Use the no boot system global configuration command to remove the old startup image configuration
from the primary NRP-1.
NRPslot5# no boot system flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC
Step 2 Use the boot system global configuration command to add the new startup image configuration to the
primary NRP-1.
NRPslot5# boot system flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.122-13.T
Step 3 Use the copy EXEC command to save the primary NRP-1 running configuration as the startup
configuration. This step also updates the startup configuration on the secondary NRP-1.
NRPslot5# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
Reload the Secondary NRP-1
Complete the following step from the NSP to reload the secondary NRP-1. NRPslot5 is still the primary
device, and NRPslot6 is still the secondary device.
Step 1 Use the hw-module EXEC or global configuration command to reload the secondary NRP-1.
Switch# hw-module slot 6 reset
The secondary NRP-1 is now running the new image in standby mode.
Upgrade the Images on the Primary NRP-1
Complete the following steps from the primary NRP-1 to upgrade the primary NRP-1 images. NRPslot5
is still the primary device, and NRPslot6 is still the secondary device.
Step 1 Use the dir EXEC command to locate and identify the system and boothelper images you will replace.
NRPslot5# dir flash:
NRPslot5# dir bootflash:
Step 2 Use the copy EXEC command to back up the system and boothelper images to a TFTP server.
NRPslot5# copy flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC
NRPslot5# copy bootflash:c6400r-boot-mz.120-7.DC tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-boot-mz.120-7.DC
