Hitless Software Upgrade Managing Software
5.4.1 Hitless Upgrade Example
The following is a step-by-step example of performing a hitless upgrade.Note that for this example, the TFTP server
IP address is 134.141.178.5 and the upgrade image path and filename is “/tftpboot/ros12.” Furthermore, in this
example, the primary CM resides in slot CM and the backup CM resides in slot CM/1.
1.
Load the new RS operating software image onto a TFTP server that is reachable by the RS.
2.
Enter the
system image add backup-cm
command to load the new software image onto the
backup CM.
rs# system image add 134.141.178.5 /tftpboot/rod12 backup-cm
**Warning: Be sure to also add this image to the
Primary Control Module so that the same images
exist on the Control Modules. Failure to do so
may prevent hot failover from working correctly.
