Managing Software Hitless Software Upgrade
3.
Enter the s
ystem image choose backup-cm
command and choose the new software image as
the image to use for the next reboot.
4.
Enter the
system redundancy reboot-backup-cm
command to reboot the backup CM, which
contains the new software image.
5.
Once the backup CM is fully active, enter the
system redundancy change-mastership
command
The backup CM (in slot CM/1) becomes the primary CM, while the old primary CM (in slot CM)
becomes the backup CM.
6.
Log into the new primary CM and check for hardware/software incompatibility and configuration
file issues (if any). Remember, if needed, the current backup CM (in slot CM) still contains the old
software and configuration files.
rs# system image choose ros12 backup-cm
**Warning: Be sure to also choose this image on the
Primary Control Module so that the same images
are chosen for next reboot on the Control Modules.
Failure to do so may prevent hot failover
from working correctly.
Choosing image on Backup CM
