IOS Upgrade from Cat to IOS

ishtorres
Level 1
Level 1

Afternoon,

 

    Would like to upgrade a 4507R to more current IOS. (cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.122-50.SG6.bin)

Sup V-10GE 10GE (X2) running cat4000-i5k91s-mz.122-25.EWA14.bin

Would like to upgrade to 4500 software. I have had Supervisor V's with newer ios. Just wondering why it is hanging during boot up or a continuous booting loop. Wondering if there is a guide for this.

 

Rommon:  Rom Monitor Program Version 12.2(31r)SGA7

 

Exiting to ios...

Rommon reg: 0x10000380

Hi,

Your SupV-10GE seems to be affected by the problem of SDRAM degradation as described in FN-62479. Please see the document beneath and act accordingly:

Hi,

Do you have the required memory and flash for his IOS?

Hey Reza,

I do but I just get a continuous rommon boot until I hit control-C to suspend.

I tftp'd the IOS to bootflash and Slaveboot flash with space. Configured the boot statements to direct to the newer IOS.

Below are my los statement.

This will reload the active unit and force switchover to standby[confirm]

 

Below is the Standby which has the new image and tried to switch over to.

Console into the supervisor card and check the config-registry is correct.  

 

If it is, post the output to the command "sh boot" or "sh bootvar".

Here is my sho bootvar command. IOS is plased in bootflash of both sup's.

Old bootvar

Standby BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000-i5k91s-mz.122-25.EWA14.bin,12;
Standby CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
Standby BOOTLDR variable =
Standby Configuration register is 0x2102

 New IOS Bootvar


Standby BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.122-31.SGA11.bin,1;
Standby CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
Standby BOOTLDR variable =
Standby Configuration register is 0x2102

I have Submitted a tac case for this. Awaiting response, but seems the best route at this time.
