Facing error in ugrading latest IOS on 6504-E

Hi,

I was upgrading IOS on one of our 6504-E, this IOS running good on 6509 but getting error on 6504.

Dec 16 15:21:41: %SYS-SP-5-RELOAD: Reload requested
Dec 16 15:21:41: %OIR-SP-6-CONSOLE: Changing console ownership to switch processor

System Bootstrap, Version 8.4(2) Release
Copyright© 1994-2005 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Cat6k-Sup720/SP processor with 524288 Kbytes of main memory

Autoboot executing command: “boot disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin”
Loading image, please wait …

device does not contain a valid magic number
loadprog: error – on file open
boot: cannot load “disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin”
Exit at the end of BOOT string
rommon 1 >

Below is the procedure followed to upgrade the switch:-

1. Copy IOS image from FTP to disk0 by executing below mentioned command:-

10cmr0-cs1-dbsn#copy

ftp://username:password@FTP.XYZ//tftpboot/software/cisco/6500/sup720/s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin disk0:

2. Once IOS get copied on disk0,confirm this by command (sh disk0:) that image is there.

3. Remove existing boot system command from switch:-

10cmr0-cs1-dbsn(config)#no boot system flash bootdisk:s72033-ipservices_wan-vz.122-18.SXF11.bin

4. Configure boot sequence command for new IOS:-

10cmr0-cs1-dbsn(config)#boot system flash disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin

5. configure second boot sequence command which we remove earlier in order to provide IOS fail back redundancy:-

10cmr0-cs1-dbsn(config)#boot system flash bootdisk:s72033-ipservices_wan-vz.122-18.SXF11.bin

6. Check boot sequence by output of sh run. It should be look like this:-

boot system flash disk0:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin ( NEW IOS)
boot system flash bootdisk:s72033-ipservices_wan-vz.122-18.SXF11.bin ( OLD IOS)

7. Save the config by executing write mem command.

8. Reload the switch after cross checking all the commands once again.

9. If during startup, you encounters config related errors like the ones below, make a note of each command the new IOS didn’t apply:

radius-server source-ports 1645-1646

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker. ( This is just example)

10. Once switch come back check the version and configuration accordingly and keep it under observation.

Please suggest whats wrong with this.

Regards

Rishant

Hello Rishant,

This is normally caused by a corrupted file. You will need to format disk0: in your case and recopy the image.

Here is a good doc that explains all this:

Hope this helps.

I am not clear on what the problem is.

Is it just this message?

radius-server source-ports 1645-1646

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker. ( This is just example)

Does the switch function, can you do a "show ver" and confirm your new code is running?
