Hello,
Please would it be possible for anyone to advise on the following:
I need to upgrade the IOS on a WS-C6509-E with a 720 Supervisor card, currently running IOS vers: s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI3 - looking at the images available it seems that the latest image for the same version of code is: s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI13.bin, am I correct in saying this? Or is there a later image I could use?
Also I'm confused based on the requirements of 512DRAM & 512 Flash for this image, when executing the following command, 'show sup-bootdisk' & show version' - does the amount of memory available indicate the available Flash or DRAM, or both?
#sh sup-bootdisk
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path

"dir sup-bootdisk:" should show the "bytes total" of the Flash (probably 1GB, judging by the available+used from your "show sup-bootdisk" output)
DRAM also seems to be 1GB ("bytes of memory" output by "show version"), so you're good to go for any of the latest IOS images available for SUP720 (12.2.33-SXI14, 12.2.33-SXJ10, 15.1.2-SY6):
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=280829702&softwareid=280805680&release=15.1.2-SY6&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=MD&reltype=latest
I'm not sure that all 6500 line-cards are supported by all these IOS trains, so this is probably something to consider when choosing an IOS...
