Schedule 9200 software Upgrade

awinslade

Level 1

Okay I'm beat.

 

I have been trying to work on a set of commands in order to execute out of hours upgrade to 9200.

 

I have been able to achieve this with a process that prepositioning the software using the WEBUI and then scheduling a reload in CLI; but have not been able to come up with the correct order of CLI commands to achieve same.

 

Anyone done this?

1.  Before you start, make sure to clean up the flash with the following command: 

request platform software package clean switch all

 

2.  Use the following command to unpack the firmware with the following command:  

request platform software package install switch all file flash:IOS_filename.bin on-reboot new auto-copy verbose

 

3.  After the firmware has unpacked the files, use the following command to verify the package.conf contains the correct files: 

more flash-X:packages.conf | begin CAT9

NOTE:  Make sure to run this command on every member of the stack. 

 

4.  Make sure the boot variable string is pointing to the packages.conf:

sh boot

 

5.  Schedule a reboot:

reboot at <hour>:<minutes> <day> <month>

 

6.  After the switch has successfully rebooted, do not forget to clean the flash: 

request platform software package clean switch all

 

Good luck and hope this helps.

9200/9200L is a different story. 

The process I have initially posted is not compatible with the 9200/9200L. 

Using CLI alone, it is not possible to schedule a reboot with 9200/9200L because the command to unpack the firmware will reboot the switch/stack after the unpacking process is complete.

The only way to successfully schedule a reboot on a 9200/9200L is to use DNAC.  

What is interesting & disappointing  is you can do with a GUI/CLI combo.
