Introduction

This document provides an understanding of what Turboboot is and how to bring up a system running IOS-XR from scratch

There are two ways to upgrade the system:

  • One is to install add and activate the new XR software version. At a minimum this would require that mini.pie file
  • The second way is by performing a turboboot, fresh install, by booting the mini.vm file from rommon

This executable mini.vm file needs to be transferred via TFTP (on the RSP2) or can be loaded from the external USB port or TFTP (on the RSP440 and CRS-PRP). On the 9001 the USB ability is added in rommon 2.03 (5.1.1 release version).

No other media or protocols are possible to be used for a turboboot other then the ones specified above. Ex FTP is not allowed

File System overview

XR devices have multiple medias for storage and they all have their individual purpose.

Note that unlike many IOS devices, nvram is NOT used for the configuration storage. Configurations are stored in a database on the boot disk (often disk0). Typically only rommon variables and license info are stored in nvram.

Summary steps for using turboboot

Because a  turboboot can erase configuration, SSH keys, and other items such as  licenses the following should be done to check and backup any files

1. Run a cfs check in admin & non-admin mode

2. Copy active licenses and SNMP files to tftp server

3. Copy running config to a tftp-server or laptop

4. Capture "show ipv4 int brief" output to a text file

5. Capture "show ipv6 int brief | i Up/Up" output to a text file

6.  Offline. Edit the saved RSP config - add "no shutdown" for all physical  interfaces that are up/up from the above IPv4 & IPv6 interface  captures and save cfg changes. Note that it is not necessary to “no  shut” sub-interfaces, only the main physical interface.

7. Connect a laptop console cable to the RSP in RSP0 slot and enable a log file to monitor and capture the RSP bootup logs.

8 . Turn the power supplies on to power up the asr9k system. (approx. 7-12 minutes)

9.  After the LED's indicate IOS-XR on the LC's, and ACTV or STBY on the  RSP’s, log in via the console of the RSP that is ACTV and run some  preliminary checks to check system stability.

NOTE: The default root-system username and password on the RSP440 are root/root

(if root/root does not work also try cisco/cisco, or admin/admin or viking/viking)

 

10. Verify the ASR9K IOS XR version

11. Run a cfs check in admin & non-admin mode

12. (Optional) Install add & commit any missing SW packages (pies) or required SMU’s

13. Upgrade FPD in admin mode

14. Reload any nodes that had FPD upgrades

15.  Configure the Mgmt ethernet interface with an IP address to reach tftp  server & load and commit the saved RSP config from tftp server or  laptop

a) or log into the console and cut & paste a saved cfg from laptop

b) or copy saved cfg from laptop to usb, then insert usb into RSP440 and copy and commit cfg

c) copy licenses and snmp files back to the RSP’s

16. (Optional) create and generate new crypto keys if required.

Steps to Turboboot

 

As mentioned Turbobooting means that you load the "VM" (virtual machine) XR base OS image.

Turboboot is started from Rommon and is essentially the same as putting a disk with the desired OS in your laptop, reboot the machine to boot from CDROM, and installing the base OS.

Before the Turboboot process starts, you can instruct the system to wipe all files from the system and start clean or install the image to be turbobooted along side with any existing releases currently found on the disk. (see Set the Turboboot variables on the RSP)

Turbobooting may be required if you want to sweep clean your system, or we also had some issues in XR4.2.0 with the RSP2 whereby the upgrade pie could not be loaded. A turboboot was required in that case also.

Some or all of these procedures below are needed.

The command "set" gives you an overview of all the rommon environment variables currently set to their values.

Clear the ROM Monitor environmental variables on all RSPs

unset BOOT
unset TFTP_FILE
sync

the command *unset* clears the variable value from rommon.

the command *sync *saves or writes the newly set and unset variables to persistent memory so they are saved cross reloads and power cycles.

Clear disk mirroring variables

unset BOOT_DEV_SEQ_OPER
unset MIRROR_ENABLE
sync

By default, the two internal USB partitions (disk0 and disk1) are mirrored to each other, if you break the mirror, turboboot will only affect the disk

that you are turbobooting target to and not the other one (nice if you want to fall back).

Disable the CPU watchdog

priv
diswd <- Disable the CPU watchdog

If you omit this step and the TFTP download for the turboboot mini-vm image takes longer than 30 minutes due to network delays etc, then the RSP might reset and you'll have to start over. Disabling this watchdog makes sure the system is not going to reload during the transfer of the image in rommon.

Define the network and IP settings on the mgmt interface

IP_ADDRESS=ip_address
IP_SUBNET_MASK=mask
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=ip_address

Set TFTP environment variables

TFTP_RETRY_COUNT=4

sets the number of retries to contact the tftp server

TFTP_TIMEOUT=6000

sets the TFTP timeout for the transfer, you may need to set this larger to prevent abort during xfer if there are network delays

TFTP_CHECKSUM=1

whether checksum on the transfer is needed, this is adviceable in case the image gets corrupted during transfer.

TFTP_SERVER=server_ip_addr

the server address can also be specified in the boot statement, or fixed in the rommon variable.

TFTP_MGMT_INTF=0

which of the 2 mgmt interfaces you want to use, either 0 or 1 with 0 being the default.

TFTP_BLKSIZE=1400

Setting a larger TFTP block size is recommended to pack larger packets and transfer the VM image quicker. Note that for CRS this variable is TFTP_BLOCK_SIZE.

Set the Turboboot variable on the RSP

TURBOBOOT=on, {boot-device},[format | clean],[nodisablebreak]

on tells us to install add and install activate the packages when we boot from the VM image.

boot-device is which device we want to use to install the OS, typically disk0

format tells us to replace the OS completely except for the admin configuration

clean tells us to replace the OS completely, but other files such as the admin or exec configuration are saved

nodisablebreak allows us to terminate the turboboot via a break signal. The default is to ignore breaks

Example:

TURBOBOOT=on,disk0,format
sync

This will instruct the system to do a turboboot with disk0 as the selected boot device and to use the format option. The format key is optional.

Currently today we only support targeted install to disk0 but this will change likely in XR4.3.1 whereby you can use disk1 as install target.

NOTE: a recent tac case showed that the command for turboboot failed on the ASR9001.

Supposedly this was made to work by omitting the colon after disk0:

Suggesting to try the disk0 (without colon) if the command with colon fails.

 

ASR9K/CRS-PRP Additional Information

 

In CRS the format option works with FAT16 but not FAT32 or QNX4 so a new variable must also be used.

In ASR9K the format and clean options do work but in order to erase the exec configuration, admin configuration, and every other file this additional variable must be used.

 

For these scenarios the following must be set.

TURBOBOOT=on,disk0

MEDIA_FORMAT=disk0:,QNX4

 

Note: If the format or clean options are set in turboboot or confreg 0x2142 is set when also having the MEDIA_FORMAT variable set then when prompted for a new username/password we will be unable to write this to the disk. To fix this go back to rommon and properly set the variables.

 

Boot the remote mini.vm file

(Works only with the VM image, not the TAR file or mini.pie)

rommon> boot tftp://server/directory/filename

During the boot process the image is copied first on to the memory(RAM) and is installed from memory(RAM). Once it is insalled from memory, it will copy the image back on to disk0: and reload the device. Wait till you get the message "SYSTEM CONFIGURATION COMPLETED"

Output of show install active when in memory,

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios#sh install active
<SNIP>
Active Packages:
mem:asr9k-mini-p-4.2.0

Output of show install active after image copied on to disk0:,

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios#sh install active
<SNIP>
Active Packages:
disk0:asr9k-mini-p-4.2.0

The system will also self unset the TURBOBOOT rommon variable.

Restore disk mirroring

To restore disk mirroring, use the mirror command in the global configuration mode. For more information on the mirror command, see the "Boot Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software" module in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Command Reference.

How to boot from the external USB port

The RSP-440 (and 9001 with rommon 2.03) can boot from the USB front panel port. Instead of using "boot tftp:// or boot disk0:/" you need to use a different command, mediaboot.

The command is:

rommon> mediaboot usb:\release_mini.vm

In later revisions of the rommon, the mediaboot has been superseded to boot usb:/<file>

so make sure you try them both.

 

NOTE:

Some newer rommon versions on the 9001 want to use the boot usb:/ directive. (see Q&A/comment section below this article).

It is also seen in rommon versions post 2.04 that the usb is referred to as disk1 in which case you can use: boot disk1:/...

To find out the mapping of the usb disk use the rommon "dev" command to see all filesystem devices.

 

On the CRS-PRP use boot disk2:hfr-mini-px.vm<image>

CRS does not use the mediaboot command.

How to update the FPD's

FPD upgrade for all ASR9K devices using FPD.

a) Enter admin mode via the admin command, and capture the output of the current firmware versions using CLI show hw-module fpd location all. save this output to a text file. Notice any LC that has a “yes” in the Upg/Dng?  column. This indicates the FPD should be upgraded or downgraded to match the current FPD version.

b) From admin mode upgrade FPD using the CLI: upgrade hw-module fpd location r/s/m

or if all locations require FPD upgrade (suggested) use CLI:* upgrade hw-module fpd location all *

Disk Space occupied for each image

Simplest way is to use the ksh df utility.

Install a release and packages and run df:

# df /disk0:

/dev/disk00t77           3813344    733477   3079867      20%  /dev/disk0:/   

Divide the highlighted number by 2000. That gives the approximate size in MB. 366MB in this case.

Repeat for any other releases we should be interested in.

If you do an upgrade, gather the df output before and after upgrade and compute the difference in df output.

generally caused by image corruption. seen that when the image is transferred to a tftp server with ascii instead of binary.

tftp download has a checksum for xferring from tftp svr to mem.

In Windows 7 you can use the "netsh" utility to determine what your MTU is set to.

Use a CMD prompt or Powershell window and use

netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

This will display a list of your interfaces and their MTU sizes.

The TFTP blocksize should be equal to or smaller than the MSS of the interface through which you are accessing the TFTP server.

MSS(Payload for TCP = MTU - 40 Bytes (20 Byte IP Header + 20 Byte TCP header)

eg.  If your MTU was 1300 use

TFTP_BLKSIZE=1260

Hi Xander

 

For ASR 9006 with RSP-4G

We have trouble with the tftp download. We are pretty sure that the server works fine (tftpd32), since we have followed the procedure and updated sucessfully one ASR9010 and two ASR 9904 with RSP440.

 

We usually get to a point where the transmission ends with the message tftp timeout.

 

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Hi Xander,

After turboboot, the image is getting automatically copied to disk0: even when the turboboot rommon variable is set ON.

The following is given as input is rommon when turboboot:

rommon B25 > TURBOBOOT=on,disk0,format

 

But still after the bootup, it shows the following error:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Aug  5 03:08:14.515 : easybake3[186]: %INSTALL-TURBOBOOT-4-ROMMON_VARIABLE_NOT_SET : TURBOBOOT rommon variable not set; system is membooting. Set TURBOBOOT rommon variable to 'on' to diskboot the system.!! Memboot is unsupported. Behavior could be undefined !!

 

Is there anything needs to be added? 

 

Warm regards.

Disk0 is the default, and in some instances other disks can't be used at all (depending on which RP/RSP/PRP you are using).

 

The syslog message indicates that you likely did not 'sync' the ROMMON config before booting, so while you did boot the image you only loaded it into memory, without the TURBOBOOT variable the writing to disk step will never happen.

yeah that was going to be my suggestion on this also Sam.

just to explain: the "sync" keyword in rommon "saves" the vars from rommon into a file so that when rommon resets the right vars are taken back, which is necessary for turboboot to operate.

Hi Xander/Experts

 

I recently performed a turboboot from 3.9.2 to 5.1.3 on ASR9010. 

The router has come up fine and it seems to be functioning normally, however, the following issue is causing great concern to me:

 

I receive a warning from wdsysmon:

wdsysmon[428]: %HA-HA_WD-4-DISK_WARN : A
monitored device /bootflash: is above 80% utilization. Current utilization = 89. Please
remove unwanted user files and configuration rollback points.

 

The bootflash shows that it has only around 5 mb free space and 44 mb total space (???). I donot understand how that is possible.

I am concerned that this might lead to issues in the future, at worst, a reload. 

 

Are my concerns justified or is this normal behavior? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

The message with bootflash is fine.  Have you committed the install and such to make sure we only keep the last committed version in there?

Hi Martine,

 

You got error messages for harddiskb: which generally is not used. but before that concern is repeatedly hang signature of HD.

Possibility of embedded USB failure is high. can you help me with output of below commands please ?

more disk0:/umass.log

more harddisk:ahci.log loc location <0/RSP0/CPU0>

show filesystem disk0: location <0/RSP0/CPU0>

I was able to fix that error by changing the config-register x102 had it set up at x2102.

But I still get two error message from booting up:

This (D)RP Node is not ready or active for login /configuration
FPD ltrace_file_name => fpd-agent/tempo

Which Files do I need to delete?

Hi Martine,

 

There are few points :-

 

1) Seems you have turboboot the box because confreg 0x102 set by default after it.

2) Its good if messages are not appearing after changing confreg but that confreg is for bootup operations.

3) If its not again appearing the possible reason is clearing of error condition. If you find same logs again and repetitive then should investigate ahci.log and umass.log file.

4) Error message :- RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Aug 12 22:06:57.143 : sysmgr[97]: %OS-SYSMGR-3-ERROR : /pkg/startup/route_proxy.startup: No proc_group name set in placeable startup file - default to central-services

Indicates that central_services is not included or part of process group of Route-Proxy process.

can you share

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# run

cat /pkg/startup/route_proxy.startup

It don't look having potential to impact any service.

5) Seems you are using RSP2. you can check sh install summary and if you are not using specific packages i.e. service infra, LI, doc etc. You have ~ quarter to 2GB for operations.

 

Thanks

Nitin Pabbi

Hello Nitin,

Thanks for the reply.

1) Its good if messages are not appearing after changing confreg but that confreg is for bootup operations.Should I have it set to something else? what would be the default config?

 2) I would like to remove unnecessary files so the following error will not appear: What commands do I need to execute and what files I can delete?

A monitored device /disk0: is above 80% utilization. Current utilization = 87. Please remove unwanted user files and configuration rollback points. wdsysmon[441

3.Error message :- RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Aug 12 22:06:57.143 : sysmgr[97]: %OS-SYSMGR-3-ERROR : /pkg/startup/route_proxy.startup: No proc_group name set in placeable startup file - default to central-services

I was not able to execute: P/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# run

cat /pkg/startup/route_proxy.startup
