Optional Fpd Procedures - Cisco ASR 1000 Series Software Configuration Manual

Upgrading Field-Programmable Devices
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Disable the automatic upgrade feature using the no upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.
Step 2
Insert the SPA into the system.
If the FPD images are compatible, the SPA will operate successfully after bootup.
If the FPD images are not compatible, the SPA is disabled. At this point we recommend that you wait for a scheduled
maintenance when the system is offline to manually perform the FPD upgrade as described in the
SPA FPD Images, on page
Step 3
Re-enable the automatic upgrade feature using the upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.

Optional FPD Procedures

This section provides information for optional FPD-related functions. None of the topics discussed in this
section are necessary for completing FPD upgrades, but may be useful in some FPD-related scenarios. It
covers the following topics:
Manually Upgrading SPA FPD Images
To manually upgrade the current FPD version on a SPA, use the following command:
Router# upgrade hw-module subslot
slot-number
[
In this example, slot-number is the slot where the SIP is installed, subslot-number is the subslot number
where the SPA is located, fpd indicates the type of upgrade required, bundle selects the bundled FPD package,
and reload specifies that the SPA is automatically reloaded after the upgrade. Note that subslot
slot-number/subslot-number is used to specify a SPA FPD upgrade. The SPA will automatically be reloaded
to complete the FPD upgrade.
An image upgrade can require a long period of time to complete depending on the SPA.
Caution
Upgrading Multiple FPD Images
A single piece of hardware can contain multiple FPD images. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers can upgrade
up to three FPD images simultaneously. However, only one FPD upgrade per router slot can occur at a time,
so all FPD images on all SPAs in a single slot will have to wait for another FPD upgrade to finish.
Users should note that some FPD images require the SPA to reload to complete. The FPD upgrade process
will perform this step automatically, so users do not have to intervene. However, the other FPDs in the hardware
of the specified slot will have to wait for this reload to complete before their upgrade process begins.
