Upgrading Field-Programmable Device

An FPD is a field programmable logic device which contains non-volatile, re-programmable memory to define its internal wiring and functionality. The contents of this non-volatile memory are called the FPD image or FPD firmware. Over the lifespan of an FPD, FPD firmware images may need upgrades for bug fixes or functionality improvements. These upgrades are performed in the field with minimum system impact.

Prerequisites for FPD Image Upgrades

You must install the FPD pie before you install the SMUs or Service Packs. If you install the SMU or Service Packs before the FPD pie, the FPDs on the line card may not upgrade. In such cases, you must remove the SMUs and Service Packs and reload the router.

Overview of FPD Image Upgrade Support

An FPD image is used to upgrade the software on an FPD.

FPD versions must be compatible with the Cisco IOS XR software that is running on the router; if an incompatibility exists between an FPD version and the Cisco IOS XR software, the device with the FPGA may not operate properly until the incompatibility is resolved.


Note


Downgrade of FPDs is not recommended.



Note


FPD auto upgrade is not supported on this router.


FPD upgrade service

The main tasks of the FPD upgrade service are:

  • Check FPD image version to decide if a specific firmware image needs an upgrade or not.

  • Automatic FPD Image Upgrade (if enabled).

  • Manual FPD Image Upgrade using the upgrade hw-module fpd command.

  • Invoke the appropriate device driver with a name of the new image to load.

An FPD image package is used to upgrade FPD images. The install activate command is used to place the FPD binary files into the expected location on the boot devices.

Supported Upgrade Methods

Method

Remarks

Manual Upgrade

Upgrade using CLI, force upgrade supported.

Auto Upgrade

Upgrade using install SMU activation or during image upgrade. User can enable/disable auto upgrade feature.


Important


FPD auto upgrade is not supported on this router in releases before Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2.


Determining Upgrade Requirement

Use the show hw-module fpd command to determine if an FPD upgrade is required. Check for NEED UPGD in the Status column.

Example

Router: #show hw - module fpd

Use the show fpd package command to find out which FPGAs are supported with your current software release and minimum hardware requirements for each module.

Manual FPD upgrade

Manual FPD upgrade is performed using the upgrade hw-module fpd command. All cards or all FPGA in a card can be upgraded. If reload is required to activate FPD, the upgrade should be complete. Interface module (IMs) and RSPs cannot be reloaded during the process of the FPD upgrade.

FPD upgrade is transaction-based:

  • Each fpd upgrade CLI execution is one transaction.

  • Only one transaction is allowed at any given time.

  • One transaction may include one or many FPD upgrades

The force option can be used to forcibly upgrade the FPD (regardless of whether it is required or not). It triggers all FPDs to be upgraded or downgraded. The force option can also be used to downgrade or upgrade the FPGAs even after the version check. However, the force option must be used cautiously and only to recover a component from a failed upgrade.


Note


  • Sometimes, FPDs can have primary and backup images.

  • Force FPD upgrade with upgrade hw-module location all fpd all force command affects forwarding over BVI interface. You must reload involved locations to recover.

  • The use of the force option when performing an FPD upgrade is not recommended except under explicit direction from Cisco engineering or TAC for a one-time purpose only.

  • FPD upgrade should be performed in Admin mode only.

  • A new FPD upgrade should be issued only when previous FPD upgrades have been completed on the same FPD with the following syslog message:

    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:May 10 10:11:44.414 UTC: fpd-serv[205]: %INFRA-FPD_Manager-1-UPGRADE_ALERT : FPD Upgrade Completed (use "show hw-module fpd" to check upgrade status)

How to Upgrade FPD Images

  • Migrate the software to a later Cisco IOS XR software release.

  • Swap IMs or RSPs from a system running a different Cisco IOS XR software release.

  • Insert a new IM or RSP.

In the event of an FPD incompatibility with your card, you might receive the following error message:

LC/0/0/CPU0:Jul 5 03:00:18.929 UTC: optics_driver[220]: %L2-OPTICS-3-BAD_FPGA_IMAGE : Detected bad MI FPGA image programmed in MI FPGA SPI flash in 0/0/CPU0 location: Failed to validate meta data CRC

Upgrades to the Cisco IOS XR software might result in an FPD incompatibility. Ensure that you perform the FPD upgrade procedure and resolve all incompatibilities, for the cards to function properly.


Note


The use of the force option when performing a FPD upgrade is not recommended except under explicit direction from Cisco engineering or TAC for a one-time purpose only.


Before you begin
  • The FPD upgrade procedure is performed while the card is online. At the end of the procedure the card must be reloaded before the FPD upgrade is complete. To reload the card, you can use the hw-module location <location> reload command in Admin mode, during the next maintenance window. The upgrade procedure is not complete until the card is reloaded.

  • During the FPD upgrade, you must not do the following:

    • Reload, perform an online insertion and removal (OIR) of a line card (LC), or power down the chassis. Doing so may cause the node to enter an unusable state.

    • Press Ctrl-C if the console appears to hang without any output. Doing so may abort the upgrade.

  • If you are not sure whether a card requires an FPD upgrade, you can install the card and use the show hw-module fpd command to determine if the FPD image on the card is compatible with the currently running Cisco IOS XR software release.

Configuration Examples for FPD Image Upgrade

The following examples indicates the use of commands associated with the FPD image upgrade procedure.

show fpd package Command Output: Example

Use the show fpd package command in System Admin EXEC mode to find out which IMs and RSPs are supported with your current Cisco IOS XR software release, which FPD image package you need for each IM or RSP, and what the minimum hardware requirements are for each module. If multiple FPD images are available for your card, they are listed as Subtype fpga2, fpga3, and so on.


Note


The FPD name used in the FPD Description column of the output of the show fpd package command includes the last ten characters of DCO-PID. Depending on the slot and port numbers, the FPD name is appended with DCO_0, DCO_1, or DCO_2. For example, the FPD names for CFP2-WDM-D-1HL in port 0 and port 1 are -WDM-D-1HL_DCO_0 and WDM-D-1HL_DCO_1 respectively.


The following example shows a sample output from the show fpd package command:

Release Information

Feature Description

Auto FPD Upgrade

Release 7.3.2

This functionality enables automatic upgrade and reload for field-programmable devices (FPDs) whenever the Cisco IOS XR image has a newer FPD version. This functionality upgrades all route processors and line card FPDs simultaneously while displaying upgrade triggers on the console.

Effective Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2, you can enable automatic upgrade of FPD by using the “fpd auto-upgrade enable” command.


Note


Automatic upgrade of FPD is not supported in Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1.


To automatically upgrade all FPDs, use:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:IOS(config)#fpd auto-upgrade enable

To reload the interface modules following the fpd auto-upgrade, use:

 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:IOS(config)#fpd auto-reload enable

Limitations and Usage Guidelines

Limitations

  • FPD auto-upgrade should be enabled only in the XR VM and not in the System Admin VM.

  • With auto-upgrade enabled, if any card is in RELOAD REQUIRED state, auto-upgrade is re-triggered during any SSO or FPD-serv process restart.

  • When an interface module (IM) or route processor (RP) is in RELOAD REQUIRED state and auto-upgrade is enabled, FPD upgrades are triggered again.

  • With auto-upgrade enabled, if line card is inserted, an auto-upgrade is triggered. During this phase optics alarms are generated. If auto-reload is not enabled, you must reload the line cards manually to clear these alarms.

  • SATA allows you to upgrade or downgrade when an FPD version change is available. Therefore, when auto-upgrade is enabled, the system automatically downgrades if lower versions are available. This behavior is specific only to SATA FPDs.

  • FPD auto-reload is applicable for line cards only. Line cards are automatically reloaded after the fpd auto-upgrade process is completed.

  • You must disable auto-upgrade during XR ISSU; otherwise, the router goes into a state where redundancy cannot be achieved. In this case, standby RP must be reloaded to achieve redundancy.

Usage Guidelines—Online Insertion of Line Cards

When a line card with a lower FPD version is inserted, one of the following scenarios apply:

  • If fpd auto-upgrade and auto-reload are enabled, and a new line card is inserted, the system upgrades the line card FPDs automatically with the latest FPDs and reloads the line cards.

  • If fpd auto-upgrade and auto-reload are both disabled, no action is required.

  • If fpd auto-upgrade is enabled and auto-reload is disabled, the following alarms are displayed on the console:

    RP/0/RP1/CPU0:Jun 1 10:05:46.095 UTC: optics_driver[231]: %PKT_INFRA-FM-3-FAULT_MAJOR : ALARM_MAJOR :OPTICS SUPPORTED_ERROR :DECLARE : Optics0/5/0/6: Optics0/5/0/6
    RP/0/RP1/CPU0:Jun 1 10:05:46.096 UTC: optics_driver[231]: %PKT_INFRA-FM-2-FAULT_CRITICAL : ALARM_CRITICAL :OPTICS NOT SUPPORTED :DECLARE : Optics0/5/0/6: Optics0/5/0/6

    You must reload the line cards manually to clear these alarms

Usage Guidelines—Online Insertion of RPs

When fpd auto-upgrade is enabled and a new RP is inserted, the system upgrades the RP FPDs automatically with the latest FPDs.


Note


RPs are not reloaded automatically. You must manually reload the RP or chassis for the latest FPD version to reflect.



Note


Reload of active RPs and line cards impacts the network traffic.

Configuring Auto FPD During System Upgrade

In case of Software upgrade (without ISSU), configure the fpd auto-upgrade enable command. All the FPDs are automatically upgraded in the currently installed image (V1). After the upgrade, the router automatically reloads and comes up with the new image (V2) with the upgraded FPDs already running. No additional reloads are required.


Note


System reloads are part of the SU process, therefore you can disable the FPD auto reload functionality by using the fpd auto-reload disable command.

Configuring Auto FPD During ISSU

ISSU occurs in two phases—in the System Admin VM and then in the XR VM.

In the System Admin VM mode, first execute the fpd auto-upgrade enable command. This configuration causes the FPDs on the route processor (RP) to automatically upgrade to the latest versions.

In the XR VM mode, you must disable the FPD auto upgrade. This is because IM FPGA upgrades are not automatically triggered as part of ISSU.


Note


Less than 50ms traffic loss is expected during ISSU.



Note


During both Admin and XR ISSU, always disable the auto reload functionality by using the fpd auto-reload disable command.


  1. Enable FPD auto-upgrade in XR VM

  8. Check the IMFPGA FPD Versions


    Note


    IMFPGA FPDs are not upgraded as part of ISSU, as auto-upgrade is disabled. Based on your network design, you must enable and upgrade the IM FPDs as well as reload the IMs at a time when it has the least impact on traffic.

  10. IM FPD auto-upgrade: After ISSU

    1. Configure the fpd auto-upgrade enable command to auto upgrade FPDs for all IMs


      Note


      After ISSU is complete for RPs, configure FPD auto upgrade and FPD auto reload.



      Note


      FPD auto reload affects network traffic. Ensure you schedule the reload of IMs at a time when it has the least impact on traffic.



      Note


      Do not exit configure exclusive mode until all IM FPGA upgrades are automatically completed. Use a separate VTY session to monitor and check status.


      RP/0/RP1/CPU0:IOS# configure exclusive
      Mon Aug  2 06:45:11.297 UTC
      RP/0/RP1/CPU0:IOS(config)# fpd auto-upgrade enable
      RP/0/RP0/CPU0:IOS(config)# fpd auto-reload enable
      RP/0/RP0/CPU0:IOS# commit
      

      Note


      During this step, all IMs that need FPD upgrades, are upgraded simultaneously. IMs are reloaded automatically for the versions to reflect.


    2. Exit configure exclusive mode when IMFPGA upgrades are completed on all IMs.

  11. Break Reload Actions in Multiple Steps to Avoid Traffic Loss

    1. Reload Standby RP

      In the following example, RP1 is the active and RP0 is the standby route processor. After the standby RP reloads and boots up, the RP FPDs come to node ready and NSR ready state.


      Note


      It is expected behavior to see different versions of the RPs in System Admin VM and XR VM.

    2. Redundancy Switchover—Swap to the Updated RP as Active RP

      After the standby RP is reloaded and booted up, perform the redundancy switchover to this RP with upgraded FPD, as active RP.


      Note


      Follow Step 11a to upgrade and reload the new standby RP.

Automatic FPD Upgrade for PSU

During the installation and Power Supply Unit (PSU) insertion process, the Field-Programmable Devices (FPD) associated with the PSUs are automatically upgraded.


Note


The PSUs are upgraded sequentially, hence the PSU FPD upgrades take longer. You can choose to exclude PSUs from the auto upgrade flow. This restricts the PSUs from being upgraded either upon insertion, or during system upgrade.


To exclude the PSU FPDs from auto upgrading, use the following CLI:

fpd auto-upgrade exclude pm

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show running-config fpd auto-upgrade
Wed Mar 30 20:52:55.079 UTC
fpd auto-upgrade enable
fpd auto-upgrade exclude pm

Note


When you upgrade from an earlier unsupported version to a version that supports Automatic FPD upgrade for PSU, the PSU upgrade might happen on bootup.


Upgrade Failure

On failure of an FPD upgrade, you get a warning with the following syslog message:

LC/0/5/CPU0:Jun 27 05:02:25.742 UTC: optics_driver[216]: %INFRA-FPD_Driver-1-UPGRADE_ALERT : FPD MIFPGA@0/5 image programming completed with UPGD FAIL state Info: [Image verification failed at offset 0x5c8, flash value = 0x0, image value = 0x40, image size = 4194304] 
LC/0/5/CPU0:Jun 27 05:02:26.570 UTC: optics_driver[216]: %INFRA-FPD_Driver-1-UPGRADE_ALERT : FPD MIFPGA@0/5 image programming completed with UPGD FAIL state Info: [Image verification failed at offset 0x1e, flash value = 0x56, image value = 0xff, image size = 4194304]

When you use the show hw-module fpd command, the status column displays UPGD FAIL to indicate failure of the FPD upgrade.


Note


  • Do not reload the line card with a failed FPD upgrade image.

  • Upgrade failed FPDs will be fixed with a manual upgrade.

  • Contact Cisco TAC or your account representative if the FPD upgrade failure is not repaired.
