Component Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions,

• CSP 2100 

• UCS C220 M4S Series Server- Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC)

• Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) to Map Virtual Media

• CSP 2100 software as an ISO image, from https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286286769/type/286289082/release/2.2.5

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any changes or configurations. Cisco recommends taking backup of the configuration before proceeding with the Upgrade.

Scenario

In this scenario we are upgrading the CSP 2100 from version 2.2.4 to 2.2.5

Procedure

Note: Please ensure that during the upgrade, the network connectivity does not flap between the work station where KVM console is running to the CSP-2100.

STEP 1. Use the CIMC KVM console and check the current firmware by running "show version" command.

STEP 2. Save the configuration with command "save config-file filename.sav" (Recommended).

STEP 3. Check the file config_backup.sav is generated

STEP 4.  Download the iso image for CSP 2100 from https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286286769/type/286289082/release/2.2.5

STEP 5.  Open KVM and map the ISO image.

STEP 6. Power Cycle the server (cold reboot) and press F6 to enter "Boot Selection Menu" and select "Cisco vKVM-Mapped vDVD1.22"

STEP 7. Once the ISO Image boots select "Install CSP-2100". Although we are selecting "Install CSP-2100", this is still going to perform Upgrade.

STEP 8. The Installation process starts and takes around 45-50 minutes to complete during which the installer will run Pre-upgrade and Post-upgrade installation scripts to upgrade the CSP 2100 to the new firmware version.

STEP 9. After Running Post installation scripts, all the services are stopped and server Reboots:

Verify

Once all the services are started, login to the user account and check the running version to confirm the upgrade status.
