Cisco 6509 SSO Redundancy IOS upgrade

[littlespace]

Hi,

I have a 6509 switch with SSO Redundancy (STANDBY HOT)

with IOS ver 12.2(17d)SXB11, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) (c6k222-jk9sv-mz.122-17d.SXB11.bin). I need to upgrade the IOS on this switch.

I have 512MB Memory on the switch and 40144896 bytes free on Disk0.

Could you please let me know which IOS is the latest version to upgrade and also give me some hints for IOS upgrade on this switch?

Thanks,

Mike

If you have Sup-2 with MSFC 2 the latest image on CCO is:

s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17b.bin

With 64Mb flash and 256 Mb DRAM requirement.

Thank you Reza,

I just ordered 2x 64MB Cisco Systems Catalyst 6000 Sup Eng 2 ATA Flash Card for it. Would you please let me know the upgrade process? the switch is running in native mode (IOS) , Do I have to copy the IOS into the Flash and then change the boot parameters? How can I do it for the other Sup?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

You would need to copy the image into the bootflash and also slavebootflash.  Change the boot parameters and reboot the chassis.

Good Luck
