IOS upgrade on Cisco 2851

[nawas]

Is there anyone runing this file c2800nm-entbasek9-mz.124-8d.bin on Cisco 2851? I tried to push this image through Cisco works and I get the following error:

Warning - SWIM1065: Minimum RAM requirement of the selected image: 256 MB .RAM available on the device ( 256 MB) May not be enough to activate the selected image.

I do have 256 MB I'm afraid to proceed further without any verification. Please let me know.

Thanks.

Try eliminating CiscoWorks from the equation and see if you can do it the good old way with copy tftp: flash: from the router CLI.

I'm thinking that way too but is there a way I can specify two boot files in the boot system command. I don't want to take a chance for this remote router to go in the rommon mode.

Thanks.

Sure, just enter the command and it will prepend it in the config.

[nawas]

you mean enter first line

boot system flash:c2800nm-entbasek9-mz.124-8d.bin

and second line

boot system flash:c2800nm-ipbase-mz.124-3b.bin prepend

or just two line of boot system statement and second will automatically be "prepend"?

Thanks.

Hi Nawas,

Just configure 2 lines of "boot system" command. It will be executed in order.

boot system flash:c2800nm-entbasek9-mz.124-8d.bin

boot system flash:c2800nm-ipbase-mz.124-3b.bin
