Managing Software Hitless Software Upgrade
6.
Reboot the RS by entering the
reboot
command at the Boot prompt.
Here is an example:
5.4 HITLESS SOFTWARE UPGRADE
The operating software for RS 8000/8600 switch routers equipped with redundant Control Modules (CMs) can be
upgraded without having to reboot the system. This ability to update the software without rebooting the RS is known
as a “hitless” upgrade, referencing the fact that all flows and routes are maintained throughout the upgrade process.
Note
OC-12 and all Smartcards in general are reset when performing a hitless upgrade
if there is a change to the code for these specific line cards (checksum has
changed).
The basic process of performing a hitless upgrade is outlined below:
•
New software is placed on a reachable TFTP server
•
Software is downloaded to the backup CM
•
The backup CM is rebooted
•
The backup CM is changed to the primary CM
