VISM Boot Code Upgrade Procedure with PXM1 Cards

There is a new backup boot code change from VISM Release 2.2(0) to software Release 3.0(0) for

VISM/VISM-PR. Complete the following steps to upgrade the new backup boot code when you are

using PXM1 cards in your MGX 8000 Series chassis:

Note This procedure reprograms the VISM boot code for previous VISM cards using the VISM runtime

image version 1.0 to 2.0.

Step 1 Telnet to MGX shelf and use the cc command to access the VISM card.

Note VISM must be in the active state in order to update the VISM boot code.

Step 2 Access the server where the VISM boot code resides and use TFTP to download the VISM boot code to

the VISM card with the following procedure:

a. Type tftp <IP address of the MGX shelf>

b. Type bin at the tftp prompt.

Caution Ensure that you perform Step 2b.—if you do not perform Step 2b. the boot code will be corrupted

and not recoverable.

c. Type put <vism-backup-boot.fw> POPEYE@SM_1_ <vism_slot_number>.BOOT

where NN = the slot number where the VISM card is inserted.

Caution Do not touch the VISM card until the status comes back ('Sent xxx bytes in yyy seconds'). Failure to

follow this recommendation will corrupt the boot code and will not be recoverable.

When the boot code is being written to PROM, you will see comments displayed at the VISM prompt.

This is normal and expected behavior.

Step 3 Use the resetcd command for VISM from the PXM card for the latest boot take effect.

Step 4 (Optional) Type the version command to verify the correct boot code.

You have completed upgrading the new VISM backup boot code.
