Upgrade Procedures for RPM-PR and RPM-XF Cards
Note Cisco Systems recommends that you avoid configuration changes until after you have run the
commitrev or abortrev commands.
Upgrade Procedures for RPM-PR and RPM-XF Cards
The following sections describe how to upgrade boot and runtime software on RPM-PR and RPM-XF
cards.
Note In this document, the general term “RPM” refers to RPM-PR and RPM-XF cards. If a step or procedure
is specific to only one of the RPM cards, it will be called out in the text.
Upgrading RPM Boot Software
At the factory, a boot file is installed in the bootflash on the RPM card and is used to boot the card. The
runtime software is updated more frequently than the boot software. However, the boot software is
updated occasionally. When you are updating runtime software, check the release notes that accompany
the runtime software to see if a boot software upgrade is required.
The boot software is stored in bootflash memory on the RPM card. To manage the software in bootflash,
you access it as if it were a hard disk. For example, in copy and delete file commands, files are identified
as bootflash:filename (which is similar to x:filename).
The following example shows a directory of bootflash contents:
Router(boot)#show flash:
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
1 .D config D4F7352A 40330 18 686 Jan 30 2001 18:18:41 auto_config_slot09
2 .D config CBF007C1 40660 9 688 Feb 22 2001 15:33:11 slot9.cnf
3 .. image F596869A 2973E8 27 2452744 Feb 28 2001 03:16:05
rpm-boot-mz_002.001.000.000
Note Although you can display directory contents with the dir bootflash: command, the show flash:
command provides more detail. Although bootflash and flash are separate entities on other Cisco
Routers, both terms refer to the same entity on the RPM.
In the example above, the numbers in the left column indicate the order in which the RPM will try to
load software. The second column shows that the first two files are marked for deletion (D). The last
column lists the names of the files stored in bootflash.
