Cisco 9500-48Y4C - Upgrade from FUJI 16.9.4 to GIBRALTAR 16.12.03a

We have 2*9500-48Y4C in Stackwise Virtual configuration on the FUJI 16.9.4, running well for the last few months. Cisco Support has stated that SVL, even through works on the FUJI 16.9.4 is not supported, thus we need to migrate to at least Gibraltar 16.12.2, so we want to migrate to Gibraltar 16.12.03a.

 

Please if you can tell me if the below steps will be safe.

 

1. install add file tftp://192.168.1.100/ cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin

      I have already run this and the image is now extracted in the flash of the 9500. But i can't see            the cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin. Should the command remove the .bin after the packages are extracted. Also how many packages should be in the flash. 

 

2. install activate auto-abort-timer 60 [please correct me if i am wrong in here, in case Gibraltar is not stable upon testing, the 9500 stack will reboot after 60 mins, since we did not enter the install commit command]

 

3. install commit [In case we see that Gibraltar is fine, then we can commit]

 

Also suppose the switch did not come up after reload from Step 1, can we just do the following step and recover the switch and still ensure that the switches boot up in the install mode.

 

 

Output - Step 1

Hello
I upgraded a 9300 distribution stack today via USB, 95Ks should be similar if not the same procedure (check release notes)

When you actually perform the install the .bin file,  .PKGs files gets extracted to the flash, Then you shouldn't(well i didn't) see the .bin file after this extraction

dir flash:*.pkg's < should see two sets of PKGs old and new beginning with  xxxx.cc_srdiverc.xxxxx

dir flash:*.conf < should see update packages.conf file and new software backup conf file 

 

1) install remove active <  cleans up old inactive install files
2) copy usbflash1:xxxxxxxx.bin flash: < you only need to do this on the stack master
3) dir flash *.pkg's, dir flash:*.conf
4) show boot system < check for packages.conf is the boot variable
5) install add file flash:xxxxxxxx.bin activate commit < installs the new software to stack and activates it
6) stack reloads

7) install remove active <  once your happy with the new software

I have already copied the IOS in to the 9500 stack.

 

The current status with the dir flash:*.pkg is as follows (Active currently is FUJI 16.9.4):

Hello

The command i used added/installed and committed the software all in one, but you can do each step individually however it looks like you’ve already added and installed the new software,

So you may just need to commit it, but first make sure the switch(s) are actually using the new software if they arent then you may need to reload.

sh boot system
sh version

Whao.   Wait.  That's not right.  That output does not look correct at all.  

Can you provide the output to the command 

more flash:packages.conf

I want to see the output from the 2nd page (I am not interested in the first page).

The correct process should be the following: 

1.  Copy the file into the flash:

copy tftp://<TFTP_IP_ADDRESS>/cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin bootflash:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin

WARNING:  After Step 2, the switch will automatically reboot at the end of the unpacking process. 

2.  Unpack the file

install add file bootflash:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin activate commit

Please find it below. I have not run the command install activate auto-abort-timer 60 and the install commit as yet.

 

Will only do it once we are ok that the switch will come up on Gibraltar 16.12.03a.

 

Currently, the switch is running FUJI 16.09.04 in the stack.

 

For the Gibraltar 16.12.03a, have just ran the command 

  1. install add file tftp://192.168.1.100/ cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin

So I am assuming that the packages.conf would not be updated from just the install add file.... I believe the install add file only copies the .bin and extracts the packages into the flash...

 

Please correct me if I am wrong.

# package.conf: provisioned software file for build 2019-08-22_18.17
#

# NOTE: Editing this file by hand is not recommended. It is generated
# as part of the build process, and is subject to boot-time
# consistency checks. Automatically-produced package files are
# guaranteed to pass those checks. Manually-maintained ones are
# not. Because "nfs" and "mount" directives are processed first,
# regardless of their position in the file, the recommended
# approach is to keep a separate file containing JUST your
# personal "nfs" and "mount" directives, and to append it to the
# automatically-generated file.
#
# Note further that when SHA-1 checksum verification is enabled,
# you will NOT be able to alter this file without updating the
# SHA-1 sum.

#
# This file can contain three types of entries:
#

#
# NFS directives (optional)
# notes: NFS directives are processed before all others (mount, iso).
# Multiple NFS directives may appear so long as they do not
# conflict -- that is, specify the same source or mountpoint.
# syntax: nfs <IP ADDRESS>:<REMOTE_PATH> <LOCAL_MOUNTPOINT>
# example: nfs 127.0.0.1:/auto/some/nfs/path /auto/some/nfs/path
#

#
# mount directives (optional)
# notes: mount directives are processed after 'nfs' and before 'iso'.
# One mount directive may appear for each F/S/B/P tuple
# syntax: mount FRU SLOT BAY PACKAGE_NAME LINUX_PATH
# example: mount rp 0 0 rp_base /auto/some/nfs/path/abs_soft/rp_base.ppc
#
# The specified LINUX_PATH may be local [sata disk] or
# reference the NFS mounts since they are processed first.
#
# Mount directives cause the package-specific mount link to
# be set to the specified path instead of to the mountpoint
# in sw for the corresponding ISO.
#

#
# iso directives (mandatory)
# notes: iso directives are processed last: any package for which
# a 'mount' directive does not appear will be mounted.
# One iso directive may appear for each F/S/B/P tuple.
# syntax: iso FRU SLOT BAY PACKAGE_NAME PACKAGE_FILE.bin
# example: iso rp 0 0 rp_base rp_base.ppc.bin
#
# PACKAGE_FILE.bin is a path relative to the packages.conf
# file. Although it supports sub-directories for development
# purposes, in deployment the files will always be managed
# as in the same directory as packages.conf so as to
# guarantee that name collisions cannot occur.
#
# Note that the RP 0/1 distinction is a convenience for development
# and testing as it allows us to have a packages.conf describe a
# SW load that varies depending on whether the RP finds itself in
# slot 0 or 1.
#
# The ISSU process *must* update *both* RP slots simultaneously so that
# the RP will behave predictably whichever slot it finds itself on [e.g.,
# if package X is upgraded, and the RP is ejected and put into either
# slot of a new chassis, we expect to see the upgraded X without regard
# to slot].

The command is missing the options to activate and commit:

install add file bootflash:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.03a.SPA.bin activate commit

This command will automatically reboot the appliance after the unpacking is complete.

Hello
I upgraded a 9300 distribution stack today via USB, 95Ks should be similar if not the same procedure (check release notes)

When you actually perform the install the .bin file,  .PKGs files gets extracted to the flash, Then you shouldn't(well i didn't) see the .bin file after this extraction

dir flash:*.pkg's < should see two sets of PKGs old and new beginning with  xxxx.cc_srdiverc.xxxxx

dir flash:*.conf < should see update packages.conf file and new software backup conf file 

 

1) install remove active <  cleans up old inactive install files
2) copy usbflash1:xxxxxxxx.bin flash: < you only need to do this on the stack master
3) dir flash *.pkg's, dir flash:*.conf
4) show boot system < check for packages.conf is the boot variable
5) install add file flash:xxxxxxxx.bin activate commit < installs the new software to stack and activates it
6) stack reloads

7) install remove active <  once your happy with the new software

Thanks Paul.

 

I have already copied the IOS in to the 9500 stack.

Please if you can guide with the above files whether we will be ok to do a install activate auto-abort-timer 60 and once the switches is fully online and tested ok, then we can do a install commit.

 

 

Hello

The command i used added/installed and committed the software all in one, but you can do each step individually however it looks like you’ve already added and installed the new software,

So you may just need to commit it, but first make sure the switch(s) are actually using the new software if they arent then you may need to reload.

sh boot system
sh version
