Installing and Upgrading Software

Software Packaging on the Router

Software Package Modes

The router can be booted using any of the following:

  • Consolidated—A single software image containing a full collection of software packages. This mode provides a simplified installation and can be stored in the bootflash, a TFTP server, or a network server.

  • Sub-package—One or more sub-images that are extracted from the consolidated image. This mode provides optimized memory usage and requires that you store files in the bootflash directory.


Note

The router supports both consolidated and sub-packages mode boot.


Understanding Software Packages

Table 1. Individual Sub-Packages

Sub-Package

Purpose

RPBase

Route Switch Processor (RSP) operating system

RPControl

Control plane processes between IOS process and the rest of the platform.

RPAccess

Handles security features including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH)

RPIOS

Cisco IOS kernel, which is where IOS features are stored and run.

Note 
Each consolidated image has a unique RPIOS package.

FP Pkg

Controls FP daemons.

IO Pkg

Controls input/output driver daemons.

LC Base

Controls basic kernel functions including runtime, initialization scripts, and chassis control daemons.

Provisioning Files

Provisioning files manage the boot process when the router is configured to boot in sub-packages. The provisioning file manages the bootup of each individual sub-package. Provisioning files are extracted automatically when individual sub-package files are extracted from a consolidated package. Provisioning files are not necessary for running the router using the complete consolidated package.

ROMMON Version Requirements

We recommend you to upgrade the ROMMON version to 15.6(33r)S.

For more information on the ROMMON package, see Cisco Software Download.

Determining the Software Version

You can use the show version installed command to list the installed sub-packages on the router.

Autogenerated Files and Directories


Caution

Any autogenerated file in the bootflash: directory should not be deleted, renamed, moved, or altered in any way unless directed by customer support; altering these files can have unpredictable consequences for system performance.


Table 6. Autogenerated Files

File or Directory

Description

crashinfo files

A crashinfo file may appear in the bootflash: file system.

Crashinfo files are useful for tuning and troubleshooting, but are not related to router operations: you can erase them without impacting the router’s performance.

core files

The bootflash/core directory is the storage area for .core files.

Warning 
Do not erase or move the core directory.

lost+found directory

This directory is created on bootup if a system check is performed. Its appearance is completely normal and does not indicate any issues with the router.

tracelogs files

The storage area for trace files is bootflash/tracelogs.

Trace files are useful for troubleshooting; you can access trace files using diagnostic mode to gather information related to the IOS failure.

Warning 
Do not erase or move the tracelog directory.

1 With CEM IMs the ISSU (upgrade) is not supported directly from Cisco IOS XE Release 16.6.x to 16.7.3 or16.8.x or 16.9.x or 16.11.x, or 16.12.x release. ISSU upgrade should be done in two steps: First, upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Release 16.6.x to Cisco IOS XE Release 16.7.2. Then, upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Release 16.7.2 to the target release.
2 With CEM IMs, ISSU (downgrade) is not supported from 16.8.x to 16.6.x.

Restrictions

  • The ISSU upgrade operation requires that the ROMmon version be 15.6(33r)S or higher for all releases starting from release Cisco IOS XE 16.11.x. For Cisco IOS XE Releases 16.6.x to 16.9.x, the minimum ROMmon version must be 15.6(20r)S.

  • You must enable the port-channel max-memlink-per-pc 8 command when downgrading from Cisco IOS XE Release 16.11.x else, ISSU will fail.

  • It is recommended to set the value of the interface-module-delay to 1200 seconds or more to ensure sufficient time for IM software upgrades based on the scale configuration on the IM.

    • For example, for a 5K scale, the configuration requires approximately 20 minutes to synchronize standby. In this case, the interface-module-delay value should be greater than 1200 seconds.

Performing a Single Command Software Upgrade

A single command upgrade updates the active and standby RSPs with a single IOS command. Follow these steps to complete the one-shot upgrade.

Preparing for Installation

Verify the chassis is booted using sub-package mode and in hot standby state, else set the router to sub-package mode. For more information, see Setting the Router to Boot in Sub-Package Mode.

Procedure


Step 1

Download the new image file from Cisco.com on the chassis.

Step 2

Open a console session to the active RSP.

Step 3

Copy the new consolidated image file to the active image bootflash directory such that the new image file is in the same location as the existing image file.

Note 
Do not copy the packages.conf file to a new directory after expanding the package. It is required that the packages.conf file and sub package files exist in the same directory.
Note 
It is not necessary to copy the new consolidated image file to the standby RSP; the one-shot upgrade process completes this step.
Step 4

configure terminal

Example:


Router# configure terminal

Enters configuration mode.

Step 5

redundancy

Example:


Router(config)# redundancy
Router(config-red)#

Enters redundancy configuration mode.

Step 6

mode sso

Example:


Router(config-red)# mode sso

Sets the router in SSO redundancy mode.

Step 7

end

Example:


Router(config)# end

Exits configuration mode and returns to the EXEC command prompt.

Step 8

Confirm that the router has reached SSO state

Example:


*Jan 12 17:52:26.516: %RF-5-RF_TERMINAL_STATE: Terminal state reached for (SSO)

Wait for the output before proceeding.

Step 9

copy running-config startup-config

Example:


Router# copy running-config startup-config

Saves the configuration.


Completing the Single Command Upgrade


Note

Do not press CTRL+C when the single command upgrade is in process. The system shall reach the command prompt only after successful completion of the upgrade.



Note

The Ethernet interface and TDM IM modules may reset, when firmware changes with the IOS image. The following TDM interface modules reset during the upgrade, irrespective of firmware changes with the IOS image:
  • Cisco ASR 900 8 port RJ48C T1/E1 Interface Module

  • Cisco ASR 900 16-Port T1/E1 Interface Module

  • Cisco ASR 900 32-Port T1/E1 Interface Module

  • Cisco ASR 900 Series 4-Port OC3/STM-1 or 1-Port OC12/STM-4 Module


Procedure


Step 1

(Optional) platform issu reload interface-module sequence sequence of all IMs

Reloads the interface modules in a sequence. Separate the IM numbers with a single space. If there are 16 IMs, sequence for all 16 IMs should be given, irrespective of the IMs being physically present or not. If the sequence is not configured using this command, the reload happens sequentially, by default.

Step 2

request platform software package install node file file-URL [interface-module-delay delay ]

Example:


Router# request platform software package install node file
 bootflash:Image/asr903rsp1-adventerprisek9.upgrade.bin interface-module-delay 150
 

Initiates the one-shot installation procedure using the consolidated image file.

Note 
You can adjust the delay between the OIR of each IM using the interface-module-delay keyword. We recommend you set the interface-module-delay value to 150 seconds or greater in order to ensure sufficient time for IM software upgrades. Keywords other than interface-module-delay are not supported.
Step 3

Wait for the router messages.

The router displays a series of STAGE/SUCCESS messages.

For sample output of a single command upgrade, see Example: Single Command Software Upgrade.

Step 4

Wait for original active RSP to reboot.

The active RSP reboots and returns to the console prompt.

Step 5

Switch to the new active console.

Step 6

Wait for new active console to return to SSO state

Example:

*Jan 12 17:52:26.516: %RF-5-RF_TERMINAL_STATE: Terminal state reached for (SSO)

Confirms that the router has reached SSO state; wait for this output before proceeding.


Performing Step-by-Step ISSU Upgrade


Note

Ensure that the wildcard "-*." is used while installing the packages on the active RSP module (Step 8).


Procedure


Step 1

Verify the chassis is booted using sub-package mode and in hot standby state, else set the router to sub-package mode, see Setting the Router to Boot in Sub-Package Mode.

Step 2

Download the image on the chassis.

Step 3

Extract the sub-package images from the asr903rsp1-adventerprisek9.upgrade.bin image on the active RSP using the request platform software package expand file bootflash:Image/ asr903rsp1-adventerprisek9.upgrade.bin command.

Step 4

Extract the sub-package image from the asr903rsp1-adventerprisek9.upgrade.bin image on the standby RSP using the request platform software package expand file stby-bootflash:Image/asr903rsp1-adventerprisek9.upgrade.bin command.

Step 5

Upgrade all the sub-packages on the standby RSP using the request platform software package install rp stdby_slot_num file stby-bootflash:asr903rsp1-*.upgrade.pkg command.

Step 6

Reload the standby module from active RP using the hw-module slot stdby_slot_num reload command and wait for the standby to reach Hot standby state.

Step 7

(Optional) Reload the interface modules in a sequence using the platform issu reload interface-module sequence sequence of all IMs command.

Separate the IM numbers with a single space. If there are 16 IMs, sequence for all 16 IMs should be given, irrespective of the IMs being physically present or not. If the sequence is not configured using this command, the reload happens sequentially, by default.

Step 8

Execute the request platform software package install file noderp active_slot_num file bootflash:asr903rsp1-sipspa.upgrade.pkg slot active_slot_num bay im_slot_num force command for each IM present in the router.

Note 
The interface modules present are reset during the installation. Verify that the IM state is OK before proceeding to the next interface module.
Step 9

Upgrade all the sub-packages on the active RSP using the request platform software package install rp active_slot_num file bootflash:asr903rsp1-*.upgrade.pkg command.

Step 10

Perform a switchover. Wait for the new standby RSP module to reach hot standby state.

The latest image is upgraded on the router.

Note 
If you have missed the package installation on any of the IM in Step 7 and proceeded to Step 8, the packages are automatically installed for the missed IMs. The IMs may reset if the firmware changes in Step8.

Software Upgrade Process Using Install Commands

Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers support In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) procedure to upgrade the software. The ISSU-using-install-cmds-for-RSP3 feature introduces a new method of software upgrade process by using the install command for Cisco ASR 903 Series Aggregation Services Routers.


Note

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1, the Install Workflow based ISSU method is supported on the Cisco RSP3 module .


Prerequisite

  • Ensure that the standby RP is in the standby-hot state.

  • Enable autoboot when using the install command so that the device is automatically reloaded with the configuration registry using the boot system command.

Guidelines

  • Perform software upgrade process only during a maintenance window.

  • Do not enable new features during a software upgrade process as it may require configuration changes.

Sub-Package Upgrade

Upgrading Software Using Step-By-Step Workflow

The step-by-step workflow involves, to add, activate, and commit the configuration. After activation, all the cards are upgraded to the new software version but does not commit automatically. You must manually commit using the install commit command. The advantage is that, it allows the system to roll back to a previous software version. The system automatically rolls back if the rollback timer is not stopped using the install abort-timer-stop command. If the rollback timer is stopped, then the new software version could be run on the device for any duration and then roll back to the previous version.

Procedure


Step 1

enable

Example:


Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

install add file {bootflash:| tftp:}

Example:


Router# install add tftp bootflash:

Downloads the image into the bootflash. The image is copied to the boot directory (boot_dir), the location where Route Processors (RPs) are booted.

Step 3

install activate issu [linecard-delay seconds]

Example:


Router# install activate issu

Provisions the standby RP with the new software and reloads with the new software version.

  • linecard-delay seconds — Waits for a specified duration before upgrading the next slot.

  • The rollback timer will be restarted.

Step 4

install commit

Example:


Router# install commit

Saves the configuration, performs the necessary clean-up, enables the new software as permanent (removing the older version of the software) and stops the rollback timer.

Note 

There is no rollback when this command is used.


Upgrading Software Using Single-Step Workflow

The single-step workflow involves, to add, activate, and commit the configuration. Rollback is not supported, as the upgrade is committed automatically.

Rollback

You can rollback the system before a commit. You can rollback a device to the initial stage using the install abort issu command or after the expiry of the rollback timer before the install commit command is used. If the install commit command is used, then rollback is not allowed.

Rollback involves the following:

  • Provision and reset the standby RP.

  • Provision and reset the active RP.

If the rollback timer is not stopped by using the install abort stop-timer command, the device rolls back to an earlier software version on expiry of the rollback timer. The default value of the rollback timer is 120 minutes.

The rollback timer value can be set via the install activate location standby auto-abort-timer seconds command.

Performing Single-Step Workflow

Procedure

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

install add file {bootflash: | tftp: } activate issu [linecard-delay seconds] commit

Example:

Router# install add tftp bootflash: activate issu commit

Enables the standby RP with new software and triggers the standby RP to become active RP with new software version.

  • linecard-delay seconds — Waits for a specified duration before upgrading the next slot.

  • commit — Saves the configuration, performs the necessary clean-up, enables the new software as permanent (removes the older version of the software) and stops the rollback timer. Any reboot after the commit, boots with the new software. There is no rollback when this keyword is used.


Tracking Software Upgrade

You can track the ISSU progress using the show issu state detail command.

Upgrading the ROMMON on the RSP3 Module

The router has two ROMMON regions (ROM0 and ROM1). We recommend that the upgrade is performed on both the regions.


Caution

To avoid actions that might make your system unable to boot, read this entire section before starting the upgrade.


Procedure


Step 1

Check the RSP bootup ROMMON region (ROM0 or ROM1). The example, shows the RSP boots up from ROM0 region.

Example:

Step 2

Copy the ROMMON image to the bootflash on the active and standby RSP.

Example:


copy bootflash:rsp3_rommon_156_33r_s.pkg

Step 3

Use the upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:rsp3_rommon_156_33r_s.pkg R0 command to upgrade the version.

Note 
R0 represents RSP in slot0 of the chassis. Step 3 upgrades the ROMMON region of the RSP that is not used (ROM1 region) as ROM 0 region is used (in this procedure) in Step 1 to boot up the RSP.
Step 4

Upgrade the ROMMON on the Standby RSP (for High Availability) using upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:rsp3_rommon_156_33r_s.pkg R1 command.

Note 
R1 represents the RSP in slot1 of the chassis. Step 4 upgrades the ROMMON region of the RSP that is not used (ROM 0 region).
Step 5

Reload the router.

Repeat Step 3 to Step 6 to update the other region on the RSP (ROM0) region in this procedure.

Note 
We recommend that both region ROM0 andROM1 are upgraded.
Note 

For Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar Release 16.9.5, Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar Release 16.12.3, and Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.x, a minimum diskspace of 2 MB is required in the boot flash memory file system for a successful ROMMON auto upgrade process. For a diskspace lesser than 2 MB, ROMMON auto upgrade fails and the router reboots. This is applicable to Cisco ASR 903 and Cisco ASR 907 routers.

Note 

Routers running a ROMMON version that is lower than version 15.6(33r)S is auto upgraded to version 15.6(33r)S during a router restart.However, if a Cisco IOS XE release with ROMMON image is bundled with a version lower than the running ROMMON version, then the ROMMON is not auto downgraded.

Upgrading the ROMMON on the RSP Module

The router has two ROMMON regions (ROM0 and ROM1). We recommend that the upgrade is performed on both the regions.

Note

For Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar Release 16.9.5, Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar Release 16.12.3, and Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.x, a minimum diskspace of 2 MB is required in the boot flash memory file system for a successful ROMMON auto upgrade process. For a diskspace lesser than 2 MB, ROMMON auto upgrade fails and the router reboots. This is applicable to Cisco NCS 4206 and Cisco NCS 4216 routers.



Note

Routers running a ROMMON version that is lower than version 15.6(33r)S is auto upgraded to version 15.6(33r)S during a router restart. However, if a Cisco IOS XE release with ROMMON image is bundled with a version lower than the running ROMMON version, then the ROMMON is not auto downgraded.



Note

Before installing the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1, you must upgrade the ROMMON to version 15_6_43r_s or higher to avoid bootup failure. This is applicable to NCS 4202 routers.



Note

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1, While performing an auto upgrade of ROMMON, only primary partition is upgraded. Use the upgrade rom-mon filename command to upgrade the secondary partition of the ROMMON during the auto upgrade. However, the router can be reloaded during the next planned reload to complete the secondary ROMMON upgrade.



Caution

To avoid actions that might make your system unable to boot, read this entire section before starting the upgrade.


Procedure


Step 1

Check the RSP bootup ROMMON region (ROM0 or ROM1). The example, shows the RSP boots up from ROM0 region.

Example:


System Bootstrap, Version 15.2(1r)S1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Copyright (c) 2011 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Wed 07-Dec-11 07:33 by tinhuang
Current image running: Boot ROM0
Step 2

Copy the ROMMON image to the bootflash on the active and standby RSP.

Example:


copy bootflash:asr903-rommon.153-1r.S1.pkg

Step 3

Use the upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:asr903-rommon.153-1r.S1.pkg R0 command to upgrade the version.

Note 
R0 represents RSP in slot0 of the chassis. Step 3 upgrades the ROMMON region of the RSP that is not used (ROM1 region) as ROM 0 region is used (in this procedure) in Step 1 to boot up the RSP.
Step 4

Upgrade the ROMMON on the Standby RSP (for High Availability) using upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:asr903-rommon.153-1r.S1.pkg R1 command.

Note 
R1 represents the RSP in slot1 of the chassis. Step 4 upgrades the ROMMON region of the RSP that is not used (ROM 0 region).
Step 5

Reload the router.

Example:


System Bootstrap, Version 15.2(1r)S1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Current image running: *Upgrade in progress* Boot ROM1
Last reset cause: BootRomUpgrade
UEA platform with 2097152 Kbytes of main memory
Step 6

Reload the router again to confirm bootup from upgraded ROMMON region ROM1.

Example:


System Bootstrap, Version 15.2(1r)S1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Copyright (c) 2011 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Fri 15-Jun-12 11:45 by ccai
Current image running: Boot ROM1
Step 7

Repeat Step 3 to Step 6 to update the other region on the RSP (ROM0) region in this procedure.

Note 
We recommend that both region ROM0 andROM1 are upgraded.

Example: Verifying ROMMON Upgrade

Use the show platform command to verify the ROMMON upgrade.

Feature Description

Fast Booting the RSP3 .bin Image

Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1

A new command platform fastboot is introduced on the RSP3 module. When enabled on the RSP3 module that is pre-booted with .bin image, on the next reboot, the ROMMON boots up with the corresponding packages.conf image. Boot up from the packages.conf image is much faster and thus, the boot time is reduced approximately by six to eight minutes.

Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 17.3.1, platform fastboot command is introduced on the RSP3 module. When enabled on the RSP3 module that is pre-booted with .bin image, on the next reboot, the ROMMON boots up with the corresponding packages.conf image. Boot up from the packages.conf image is much faster and thus, the boot time is reduced approximately by six to eight minutes.

Limitations

  • ISSU is not supported.

  • ROMMON version 15.6(36r)S or above must be present.

  • If the autoboot image name is changed when the platform fastboot command is already enabled, the platform fastboot command gets disabled.

The following procedure explains how to enable the platform fastboot command.

Router#enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(conf)#platform fastboot
Router(conf)#end

Use the following command to verify that the platform fastboot command is enabled.

Router#show running-config | i fastboot 
platform fastboot
