Troubleshooting Upgrade Problems
Replace the filename variable with the name of the new runtime file that was previously transferred to
the C:FW directory on the switch. For example:
Router(config)# boot system x:rpm-js-mz
If you want to enter additional boot system commands, enter them in the order in which you want the
RPM card to use them. The following example adds a statement to load from bootflash if the runtime
file is not found on the PXM hard disk:
Router(config)# boot system bootflash:rpm-js-mz_122-4.T
Note Before the RPM card can load runtime software from bootflash, you must copy the runtime
software to the bootflash. The procedure for copying files from the PXM hard disk to bootflash
is described in the previous section.
Step 12 Exit global configuration mode and save the new configuration.
Router(config)#^Z
Router#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]
Step 13 To verify the change, enter the show bootvar or show run commands.
Step 14 Switch to the active PXM card and reset the RPM card. For example:
Router#cc 8
(session redirected)
8850_LA.8.PXM.a > resetcd 9
The card in slot number 9, will be reset. Please confirm action
resetcd: Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? y
