C9407R OS UPgrade

[seyuncho15677]

Hello.

I have C9407R ( sup-1XL ).

And configured Stackwise-virtual.

What I'm curious about is how to change from existing bundle mode to install mode during OS upgrade.

Do I have to connect to each terminal through the console and type the install command?

If I need to keep the bundle mode, do I copy the os file to each equipment and reload only the active equipment?

** Equipment Information **

- Chassis : C9407R

- SUP : C9400-SUP-1XL

- Version : 16.12.2r

- Upgrade Version : 17.6.5

- OS mode : bundle mode 

****************************

thank you.

1.  Change the boot variable string to point to "packages.conf":

conf t
 no boot system flash bootflash:OLD_IOS.bin
 boot system flash bootflash:packages.conf
end
wr

2.  Use the following command to convert from Install Mode to Bundle Mode:

install add file bootflash:IOS_FILENAME.bin activate commit 

NOTE:  Step 2 will extract the package files from all Supervisor Cards. 

WARNING:  At the end of Step 2, both chassis will reboot.

Hi, Thank you for your reply.

Will the standby hot equipment in Stackwise-virtual also be upgraded if I run step 2?

No need.  

Step 2 will unpack the packages from the Primary and the Secondary Supervisor cards.

Thank you very much. 

Um...Can I ask you one more question?

Do I have to have an os file in the active and hot standby equipment 'bootflash:' before work?

Yes, if using Bundle Mode. 
No, if using Install Mode.
