Note the following regarding tar files:
•
•
•
Following is a valid example of using the tar keyword:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# install add tar tftp://223.255.254.254/install/files/pies.tar
You can add and activate tar files at the same time. In other words, the install add command is supported
using the tar and the activate keywords simultaneously.
Adding Multiple Packages
To add multiple PIE files, use the source keyword to specify the directory path location of the PIE files.
Then list all the PIE filenames, as necessary. This alleviates the need to repeat the directory location for
each PIE file. Following is an example of the install add command using the source keyword:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# install add source tftp://192.168.201.1/images/myimages/
comp-asr14k-mini.pie asr14k-mgbl-p.pie asr14k-mpls-p.pie asr14k-mcast-p.pie
The following example also illustrates a valid use of the install add command with the source keyword:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# install add source tftp://192.168.254.254/images/user/
asr14k-mcast-p.pie pies/asr14k-mpls-p.pie ftp://1.2.3.4/other_location/asr14k-mgbl-p.pie
In the above example, three PIE files are added from the following locations:

Parallel Reload
Installation operations are activated according to the method encoded in the package being activated.
Generally, this method has the least impact for routing and forwarding purposes, but it may not be the
fastest method from start to finish and can require user interaction by default. To perform the installation
procedure as quickly as possible, you can specify the parallel-reload keyword. This forces the
installation to perform a parallel reload, so that all cards on the router reload simultaneously, and then
come up with the new software. This impacts routing and forwarding, but it ensures that the installation
is performed without other issues.

The file filename must include the complete location of the tar file.
The tar file can contain only PIE files and directories containing PIE files. For example:
The tar file pies.tar containing the files x.tar and y.pie fails because x.tar is not a PIE file.
–
The tar file pies.tar containing the file x.pie and the directory dir_a, where dir_a contains a PIE
–
file y.pie succeeds.
The tar file pies.tar containing the file x.pie and the directory dir_a, where dir_a contains a tar
–
file y.tar fails because y.tar is not a PIE file.
The tar file pies.tar containing the PIE files x.pie, y.pie, ...*.pie succeeds.
–
The source keyword is not supported with the tar keyword.
