Information About Router Recovery

The standard way to install new software on the RSP card of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services
Router is by using the install command in administration EXEC mode. However, if the RSP card is unable
to boot the Cisco IOS XR software or you want to completely replace the existing software, you can reinstall
the software while the RSP card is in ROM Monitor mode. When you install the Cisco IOS XR software from
ROM Monitor mode, you must use a special software installation file with a vm file extension. These files
are called vm files. You cannot install software in package installation envelope (PIE) files from ROM Monitor
mode.
Installation using a vm file in ROM Monitor mode should be performed only from the RSP card of the
Note
system.
