Upgrading Images with Single Router Mode Enabled
This section describes how to upgrade the Cisco IOS image on the active and standby MSFC when SRM
is running. The new image name is c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E. The standby MSFC cannot load an image using
TFTP, but it can load an image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card (sup-slot0:).
This procedure impacts the data traffic. We recommend that you perform this procedure during a
Note
scheduled maintenance window.
To upgrade the images, perform these steps:
On the active supervisor engine, enter the copy tftp sup-slot0: command and follow the prompts to load
Step 1
the new (c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E) image onto the supervisor engine Flash PC card.

Step 2
are connected through a Telnet session, enter the session mod command to access the active MSFC.
Step 3 On the active MSFC, copy the new image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card to the MSFC
bootflash as follows:
copy sup-slot0:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E
Access the standby MSFC by entering the switch supervisor command and then the switch console
Step 4
command on the active supervisor engine.
The standby MSFC does not appear in the show module command display that is issued from the active
Note
supervisor engine.
Step 5 On the standby MSFC, copy the new image from the supervisor engine Flash PC card to the MSFC
bootflash as follows:
copy sup-slot0:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.9E
