This manual was created by an advanced Cisco guru together with vendor representatives. Published
here due to lack of desire to deal with knowledge bases and mastering MD files.
Exclusively for Dan, suddenly lose. And it is - here it is.
Preparing for Upgrade
Download from [Link] ISO image of the new version of Cisco OS XR.
In our case, this is the [Link] file .
Download the tar file from [Link] with the necessary pkg.
In our case, this is the [Link] file . Inside the file are:
asr9k-bng-supp-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-bng-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-eigrp-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-isis-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-k9sec-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-li-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-m2m-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-mcast-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-mgbl-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-mpls-te-rsvp-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-mpls-te-rsvp-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-mpls-te-rsvp-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-ospf-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
asr9k-services-x64-[Link]-r732.x86_64.rpm
Unpack [Link] .
We create a new tar archive called " iso_and_rpms_7_3_2.tar ", in which we place the previously
downloaded ISO file and all the unpacked RPM files.
Going to the CLI
We create a directory in the file system of the router that we are going to update. This is optional, the
update tar file can be copied to the root of harddisk:/.
mkdir harddisk:/ios_upgrade_7.3.2
Copy the previously created TAR archive to the router.
scp iso_and_rpms_7_3_2.tar admin@router-ip:harddisk:/ios_upgrade_7.3.2
We add a file from which we will try to update on the router (we specify our TAR archive).
install add source harddisk:/ios_upgrade_7.3.2 iso_and_rpms_7_3_2.tar
