Appendix A Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades
Quickstart Procedures for Software Upgrades
Non-Graceful PXM and Service Module Runtime Software Upgrades
Non-graceful upgrades disrupt switch traffic and are usually used in lab installations where the use of
standalone cards provides no opportunity for a graceful upgrade. The quickstart procedure provides an
overview and quick reference for those who have already performed ungraceful upgrades on the switch.
Note If you plan to upgrade PXM cards and service modules, upgrade the PXM cards first. Wait until the PXM
cards are operating in active and standby modes with the correct software before upgrading service
modules. The software version used by the PXM cards should be equal to or later than the version used
on the service modules. When service module boot software is to be upgraded, it should be upgraded
before upgrading the runtime software.
Note Avoid making configuration changes while upgrading PXM software. Configuration changes can be lost
when the PXM is reset during the upgrade.
Note Cisco Systems recommends that you upgrade software on one service module at a time within a switch.
Wait until each service module upgrade is complete before starting an upgrade on another service
module.
Step 6
loadrev <slot> <revision>
dspcd
Load the new runtime software on the standby PXM or service
module.
Step 7
runrev <slot> <revision>
dspcd
dspcd <slot>
Switch over to the standby PXM or service module and load the
new runtime software on the new standby (non-upgraded) card.
Step 8
commitrev <slot> <revision> This command prevents an accidental switch back to a previous
software revision if someone enters the abortrev command.
Enter the commitrev command after the former active PXM45
comes up in the standby-U state. Cisco Systems recommends that
you avoid configuration changes until after you have run the
commitrev or abortrev commands.
See the “Aborting a Runtime Software Upgrade” section and the
Committing to a Runtime Software Upgrade” section, both of
which appear later in this appendix.
