Boot Commands

This module describes the commands used to boot or reset Cisco IOS XR software.

For more information about ROM Monitor (ROMMON) and boot tasks, see ROM Monitor Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Routers or Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide.

config-register

To define the configuration register boot value, use the config-register command in the appropriate mode.

config-register {value | boot-mode {exec-mode | rom-monitor} | console-baud baud-rate | console-break-key {disable | enable} | password-recovery {disable | enable}} [location {node-id | all}]

Syntax Description

value

Hexadecimal or decimal value that represents the 16-bit configuration register value to be used the next time the router is reloaded. Range is from 0x0 to 0xFFFF (0 to 65535 in decimal).

For information about common configuration register settings, see Table 1.

boot-mode

Specifies what to do when the system is rebooted.

exec-mode

Specifies to load the Cisco IOS XR software and enter EXEC mode on next system reboot.

rom-monitor

Specifies to enter ROM Monitor mode on next system reboot.

console-baud baud-rate

Specifies the console baud rate.

console-break-key {disable | enable}

Specifies to disable or enable the console break key on the next system reboot.

password-recovery {disable | enable}

Specifies to enable or disable the password recovery mode on the next reboot.

location {node-id | all }

(Optional) Specifies the RSP node for which to define the configuration register boot value. The all keyword specifies all RSP nodes.

Command Default

By default, the configuration register value is 0x102 after a Turboboot.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The configuration register setting is a 16-bit, user-configurable value that determines how the router switch processor (RSP) functions during initialization. The configuration register can cause the RSP to boot normally from the default configuration, or to enter ROMMON mode during a reload. Configuration register settings can also be used to perform tasks such as password recovery.

The config-register command is entered in administration EXEC mode, on the designated shelf controller (DSC) of the system. The DSC is the primary RSP of the owner secure domain router (owner SDR).

When you have two RPs (Primary RP0 and Standby RP1) and the config-registers of the two are different, you must manually set the config-register in RP1 equal to RP0 in order for RP1 to synchronize with the configurations on RP0.

Use the show variables boot command in the EXEC mode to see status of the config-register in both the RPs.

Use the config-register x locationx command in the Admin mode to change the config-register in either of the RPs.

When setting the configuration register value for the config-register command, note the following conditions:

  • If both the primary and standby DSC are up and running when the configuration register value is set, the configuration register value applies to both the primary and standby DSC.

  • By contrast, if only the primary DSC is up and running when the configuration register value is set and the standby DSC is introduced into the router at a later time, the router does not attempt to synchronize the configuration register value for the standby RSP to that of the active RSP; in this situation, the configuration register setting applied to the standby DSC is determined by the configuration register value set in ROMMON mode.

This table describes the most commonly used configuration register settings.

Table 1. Common Configuration Register Settings

Value

Description

0x0

RSP enters ROMMON mode (rommon B1>) on the next system boot.

0x2

RSP loads the Cisco IOS XR software and default configuration on the next system boot. After logging in, the user can access EXEC mode.

0x102

Router loads the Cisco IOS XR software with the console Break key disabled on the next system boot.

Both 0x102 and 0x2102 specify the same functionality, as bit 13 in 0x2102 is not significant for Cisco IOS XR software.

0x40

Router enters the password recovery mode on the next system boot.

If you use the various keywords to set the configuration settings, note that the hexadecimal value is updated in an additive or subtractive manner to represent the keyword used. For example, if the current configuration setting is 0x102 and you use the config-register command with the password-recovery enable keywords, the value is updated to 0x142.

mirror

To configure disk mirroring on a node, use the mirror command in global configuration mode. To disable disk mirroring, use the no form of this command.

mirror location [preconfigure] node-id primary-device:secondary-device:

no mirror location

Syntax Description

location node-id

Specifies the node of the RP. It can be a node that is not yet installed if the preconfigure keyword is used. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/ slot/ module notation.

preconfigure

(Optional) Enables you to specify a node that is not yet installed.

primary-device :

Specifies the primary boot device used to store installation packages and configuration files. Supported devices are:

  • disk0:

  • disk1: (if installed)

  • compactflash: (if installed)

secondary-device :

Storage device on the same RP as the primary-device , to where critical data is replicated. Supported devices are the same as for primary-device : , but secondary-device : must be different than the primary-device : .

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The mirror command replicates all critical data contained in the primary partition of the primary boot device, onto a second storage device on the same RSP. Therefore, if the primary boot device fails, applications continue to be serviced transparently by the secondary device, without having to switch control to a standby RSP.

Before the mirror command can be used, the secondary storage device must be partitioned using the format command. If the primary boot device is not partitioned, once mirroring is enabled and all data on the primary boot device is replicated to the secondary device, the primary boot device is partitioned automatically. This guarantees that only critical data on the primary boot device is mirrored to the secondary device. Noncritical data, such as logging data, should not be mirrored and should, therefore, be saved to the secondary partition on the storage device.

To temporarily suspend disk mirroring without changing the configuration, use the mirror pause command in EXEC mode.

mirror pause

To temporarily pause disk mirroring on a node, use the mirror pause command in EXEC or administration EXEC mode.

mirror pause [location {node-id | all}]

Syntax Description

location {node-id | all}

(Optional) Specifies the node of the RSP. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/ slot/ module notation. The all keyword specifies all RSP nodes.

Command Default

If no node is specified, disk mirroring is paused on the active RSP.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The mirror pause command temporarily pauses the mirroring of the primary boot device. This command is primarily useful during an installation operation to prevent significant performance degradation on single CPU boards. The mirror pause command does not change the configured state of mirroring, but rather causes the mirroring to be suspended until the mirror resume command is used.

The mirror pause command has no affect if the mirror configuration command is not enabled.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the reload command to cause the RSP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software according to the configuration register setting (for example, 0x0 to enter ROMMON mode and 0x2 to reload the RSP to EXEC mode). If a standby RSP is in the ready redundancy state, the reload command also causes the router to fail over to the standby RSP. Use the show redundancy command in EXEC mode to display the status of the standby RSP.

When the reload command is used and a switchover occurs, the running (active) software configuration is automatically maintained during switchover.


Caution

If a standby RSP is not installed or is not in the ready state, then the router experiences a loss of service while the active RSP is reloading Cisco IOS XR software. To view the status of the standby RSP, issue the show redundancy command in EXEC mode.

If you use the reload command and there is no available standby node, you are prompted to continue with the reload:

Field

Description

Mirroring Enabled

Indicates whether mirroring is enabled or disabled.

Configured Primary

If mirroring is enabled, the configured primary disk for mirroring.

Configured Secondary

If mirroring is enabled, the configured secondary disk for mirroring.

Current Mirroring State

Current status of mirroring. Possible values are as follows:

Syncing files—Files are being synchronized between the primary and secondary disks.

Not Configured—Mirroring is not configured.

Mirroring Paused—In this state, no mirroring is being done to the secondary device and the disk redundancy has been removed. The values of the BOOT_DEV_SEQ_OPER and MIRROR_ENABLE variables reflect this.

Redundant—The primary and secondary disks are totally in synchronization. Any read or write failure on the primary device results in disk redundancy switchover such that all operations are performed on the secondary device.

Current Physical Primary

Current primary disk.

Current Physical Secondary

Current secondary disk.

Mirroring Logical Device

Device name used by the mirroring process to intercept all application requests to that named device before passing them through to one of the mirrored physical devices.

Physical Device

Physical disk in router.

State

Status of the disk. Possible values are as follows:

Available—Disk exists in router and is available.

Not present—Disk does not exist in router. Partitioning of disks is available only after the disk has been formatted with the partition keyword.

Flags

Enabled—Disk mirroring has been enabled on this device and the device is part of the mirroring process.

Repaired—During the boot, some minor inconsistencies were discovered on the disk and were repaired to make the file system consistent.

Formatted—Disk was formatted before mirroring was enabled.

BOOT_DEV_SEQ_CONF=

ROM Monitor environmental variable for the boot disk sequence. This variable is is set when mirroring is enabled through the mirror configuration command. The devices in this ROMMON variable declare the primary and the secondary devices of the mirroring process. The first device is the primary device and the second device is the secondary device in the mirroring process.

Note

 

This variable is also shared by the disk backup feature. This variable can also be set or unset using the system boot-sequence command of the disk backup feature. But the use of system boot-sequence and system backup commands is blocked, if mirroring is enabled.

BOOT_DEV_SEQ_OPER=

ROM Monitor environmental variable that reflects the state of the disk redundancy status. When mirroring is enabled and the state is redundant, this variable is set to the primary device followed by the secondary device. When mirroring is not in the redundancy state, then this variable is updated to contain only the primary device.

MIRROR_ENABLE

ROM Monitor environmental variable whose value reflects the mirroring status. If it is set to Y, then mirroring is enabled. If it is set to P, then mirroring is paused. If empty, mirroring is not enabled.

show reboot

system backup

To back up the system software and configurations to a backup disk, use the system backup command in EXEC or administration EXEC mode.

system backup [target-device] [format] [synchronous | asynchronous] [location {node-id | all}]

Syntax Description

target-device

(Optional) Specifies the storage device used for the system backup. If a target device is not specified, then the secondary device defined with the system boot-sequence command is used. If a target device is not specified with either command, then the system backup command returns an error.

  • The target device cannot be the current boot device.

  • The target device must be large enough to store the current software set and configuration.

  • The supported storage devices are:

    • disk0:

    • disk1: (if installed)

    • compactflash: (if installed)

format

(Optional) Formats a target disk that already contains a system backup.

By default, the system backup command formats the target disk if that target disk does not contain a previous system backup. If the target disk already contains a backup, then the disk is not formatted again. The format keyword forces a format of the target device even if it contains a previous system backup.

synchronous

(Optional) Performs the command in synchronous mode. This mode allows the installation process to finish before the prompt is returned. This is the default mode.

asynchronous

(Optional) Performs the command in asynchronous mode. In asynchronous mode, the command runs in the background, and the EXEC prompt is returned as soon as possible.

location {node-id | all}

(Optional) Specifies an alternative node location for the backup target disk, such as the standby DSC.

By default, the backup files are copied to the target device in the current DSC. Use the location node-id keyword and argument to specify an alternative node for the backup files, such as the standby DSC.

The node-id argument is expressed in the rack/ slot/ module notation.

Use the all keyword to back up the software and configuration files to all RSPs in the system. Each RP must contain a disk in the specified target device location, such as disk1:.

Command Default

The operation is performed in synchronous mode.

The backup files are copied to the secondary device defined with the system boot-sequence command.

The backup files are copied to the target device on the current designated shelf controller (DSC).

Command Modes

EXEC

Administration EXEC

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.7.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.


Note

The system backup command does not make any changes to bootflash content.

Target Device for the Backup

Use the system boot-sequence command with the target-device argument to specify the local storage device for backup software and configuration files. The target-device argument is optional and applies only to the current backup operation.

  • If a target storage device is not specified, then the files are backed up to the secondary storage device defined with the system boot-sequence command.

  • If a target device is not specified with either the system backup command or the system boot-sequence command, then the backup operation is not allowed.

The target-device can be any local storage device except the current boot device, and must be large enough to store the current software set and configuration. Supported storage devices are:

  • disk0:

  • disk1: (if installed)

  • compactflash: (if installed)

Location Node of the Target Device

By default, the backup is created on the specified target device of the active DSC where the command is executed.

  • To specify an alternate node for the system backup, such as the standby DSC, use the system backup command with the location node-id keyword and argument.

  • To perform the backup on all installed route switch processors (RSPs), use the system backup command with the location all keywords in EXEC mode.


Note

Each RSP impacted by the system backup command must contain the specified target device. For example, if the system backup command is executed for disk1: on all RSPs in the system, then a flash disk must be installed in disk1: of each RSP.

Various Command Modes

  • Use the system backup command in administration EXEC mode to back up the administration plane configuration.

  • Use the system backup command in the EXEC mode of an SDR to back up the software and configurations for a specific SDR.

Commit and Installation Operations Not Allowed During Backup

  • Configuration changes are not allowed during the backup process. Any attempts to commit configuration changes are rejected until the backup operation is complete.

  • The backup process cannot be performed during an installation operation. If an installation operation is performed while a backup is in process, the backup operation terminates.

Displaying the Current Backup Information

Enter the show system backup command to display information about the current backup files. If no backup exists, an error message is displayed.

Examples

The following example shows how to back up the software and configuration files on a router.

  • The system backup command is run in administration EXEC mode, which backs up both the administration and SDR configurations.

  • The target device is defined as disk1:.

  • The disk is formatted because this is the first backup on the device.

system boot-sequence

To define the order of local storage devices used to boot a router, use the system boot-sequence command in EXEC or administration EXEC mode.

system boot-sequence {primary-device [secondary-device] | disable} [location {node-id | all}]

Syntax Description

primary-device

Default device where software packages are installed and run. This device is also the default location for router configurations. The value of the primary-device argument is normally disk0: .

secondary-device

(Optional) Secondary (backup) boot device, used by the system backup command to back up system software and configurations. Supported storage devices are:

  • disk0:

  • disk1: (if installed)

  • compactflash: (if installed)

Note

 

The value of the secondary-device argument must be different from the value of the primary-device argument.

disable

Temporarily disables the automatic recovery mechanism.

location {node-id | all}

(Optional) Specifies the node of the RSP for which to define the boot sequence. The node-id argument is expressed in the rack/ slot/ module notation. The all keyword specifies all RSP nodes.

Command Default

The primary device is disk0: . The (optional) secondary boot device is not defined.

Command Modes

EXEC

Administration EXEC

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.7.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the system boot-sequence command to define the local storage devices used to boot a router. You can define two devices with this command.

  • The value of the primary-device argument defines the default device where software packages are installed and run. This device is also the default location for router configurations.

  • The value of the secondary-device argument defines the device used by the system backup command to back up system software and configurations. This field is optional.

  • The secondary device can also be temporarily defined when the system backup command is executed with the target-device argument. Use the system boot-sequence command with the secondary-device argument to permanently define the secondary (backup) device.


Note

The primary and secondary device definitions remain in effect until the system boot-sequence command is entered again.

General Guidelines

  • The value of the secondary-device argument must be different from the value of the primary-device argument.

  • We recommend disk0: as the primary boot device in the boot sequence, and disk1: as the secondary boot device.

  • The boot device specified with the system boot-sequence command must be installed in the card or the command is rejected.

Command Mode Options

  • Use the system boot-sequence command in administration EXEC mode to define the boot sequence for the system.

  • Use the system boot-sequence command in EXEC mode to define the boot sequence for a specific SDR.

Location Node

  • Use the location node-id keyword and argument to define the boot sequence for a specific route switch processor (RSP).

  • Use the location all keywords to define the boot sequence for all RSPs in the router.

Disabling Automatic Recovery

Use the system boot-sequence command with the disable keyword to disable the automatic recovery.

Displaying the Current Boot Sequence Settings

Enter the show system backup command to display the currently configured boot sequence devices.
