Purpose
Copy the boot and runtime files you want to use to the switch
(C:FW).
See the
this appendix.
Optional: Copy and rename the runtime file to a generic name for
easy updates.
See the
chapter.
Note
Establish a CLI session with the active PXM card using a user
name at any access level.
Select the slot in which the primary RPM card is installed.
Enter Enable mode for the router.
Display the current runtime software filename.
Enter the router global configuration mode.
Remove the entire boot list. To remove a single file from the boot
list, include a filename. For example:
Router(config)# no boot system x:rpm-js-mz_122-4.T
Add the new router runtime image to the boot list. For example:
Router(config)# boot system x:rpm-js-mz_122-4.T
Configure the RPM card to store its configuration on the PXM
RPM-PR_ hard disk.

Note
Exit global configuration mode.
Save the new configuration.
Note
Verify the change in the runtime software filename.
This step makes the secondary card active and resets the primary
RPM card. When the primary card resets, it loads the upgraded
boot software from bootflash.

If you have already configured the RPM to use a generic
name, you can skip to Step 12.
This step only needs to be performed once. If this
command is already in the startup configuration file, you
do not need to enter it again.
If you omit this step, the RPM card will continue to use
the previous version of software.
