Upgrade Procedures for RPM-PR and RPM-XF Cards
Step 2 If you are using a generic filename for your runtime images, copy the file on the PXM hard disk and
rename the copy. For example:
8850_LA.8.PXM.a > copy rpm-js-mz_122-4.T rpm-js-mz
Step 3 Establish a configuration session using any valid user name.
Step 4 If your RPM is already configured to use a file with a generic name, skip to Step 13.
Step 5 Enter the cc command to select the RPM card to update.
pop20two.7.PXM.a > cc 9
(session redirected)
Router>
The switch displays the Cisco IOS prompt for the router on the RPM card. From this point on, all
commands are Cisco IOS commands.
Note This procedure assumes that you are familiar with Cisco IOS commands (which is a topic that
is beyond the scope of this book). This procedure details only those commands that are unique
to setting up RPM on the switch. For general Cisco IOS commands, examples are given to show
how to complete the task.
Step 6 Configure the RPM card to store its configuration on the PXM hard disk by entering the following
command:
Router> boot config e:auto_config_slot#
Step 7 Enter Enable mode for the router.
Router>enable
Password:
Router#
Step 8 Display the startup runtime software filename by entering the show bootvar command.
Router#show bootvar
BOOT variable = x:rpm-js-mz_122-4.T,12;
CONFIG_FILE variable = c:auto_config_slot09
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2
In the example above, the startup runtime software file is x:rpm-js-mz_122-4.T, and it has a version
number attached to it. Another way to view the boot list is to enter the show startup-config command
and look for the boot system commands.
Step 9 Enter the router global configuration mode.
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 10 If you need to change the boot system filenames, remove the existing boot list using the boot system
command as follows:
Router(config)# no boot system
Step 11 Create a new boot list by entering one or more boot system commands as follows:
Router(config)# boot system x:filename
