I have 6509 Switch and using 2 X WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE Now its running CATOS. I want upgrade to IOS software. Which IOS is supporting for this module...
I just findout one IOS (C6MSFC2-boot-MZ.121-27b.E4.bin). Is it compatable..?

Please check the detailed explanation given below:
Cisco IOS Software naming conventions for the MSFC1, MSFC2, MSFC2A, and MSFC3
c6msfc—MSFC1
c6msfc2—MSFC2
c6msfc2a—MSFC2A
c6msfc3—MSFC3
c6msfc-boot—MSFC1 boot image
c6msfc2-boot—MSFC2 boot image
These are examples of Cisco IOS Software images for the MSFC:
c6msfc-boot-mz.121-19.E is the Catalyst 6500/6000 MSFC1 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E boot image.
c6msfc-ds-mz.121-19.E is the Catalyst 6500/6000 MSFC1 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E image.
c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-19.E is the Catalyst 6500/6000 MSFC2 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E image.
c6msfc2a-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF is the Catalyst 6500/6000 MSFC2A Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXF image.
c6msfc3-jsv-mz.122-14.SX2 is the Catalyst 6500 MSFC3 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(14)SX2 image.
You have selected the boot image and for conversion from CATOS to IOS we need a 'IOS software'.
s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin
The above is the latest of IOS software for sup2/msfc2.
Please confirm the DRAM and Flash size before installing the same.
s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17a.bin | |
Release Date: 19/Mar/2010 | |
Size: 50854.57 KB (52075076 bytes) | |
Minimum Memory: DRAM:256 MB Flash:64 MB |
get to the cisco site and go to software download site and get into Switches > Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch > Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 2 / MSFC2 > IOS Software >
and check the IOS compatible with your DRAM and Flash.

I have an older 6509 with dual sup 2+
slot details:-
Slot 1: WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE
Slot 2: WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE
Slot 3:
Slot 4:
Slot 5:WS-C6500-SFM (Fabric module)
Slot 6:WS-SVC-FWM-1 (Firewall)
Slot 7:
Slot 8:
Slot 9:SW-SVC-IDSM2 (IDS)
I want to upgrade CatOS to native IOS.
your suggested IOS is 50MB size, & recomented Minimum Memory DRAM:256 MB Flash:64 MB
But this Switch Flash=32MB & memory=128MB. So I installed with another c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-20.E3.bin & c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-20.E3.bin
(ie: I insert first sup-engine & installed IOS. then I remove converted supervisor from chassis and insert second sup-engine to first slot & installed )
After installation, I put both sup modules and switch on. Now first module is working (All LED is ON). but second slot is switched off & second sup LED not blinking.
could you please help me...
I removed second sup-engine and put Fabric module(slot 5), that time switch is overloading and rebooting.
display message: SP: oir_disable_notice: slot2: sec nmp failed to go online
then I removed fabric module & restarted switch,
& I checked dir bootflash: command. it displaying...

Hello George,
you will need to convert from CatOS to IOS one supervisor at a time following the procedure for conversion
so your first step should be to remove one supervisor from the chassis
apply the procedure to running supervisor
remove converted supervisor from chassis
install second supervisor
apply procedure to this second supervisor
at the end you will re-insert the first supervisors and you should end up with two supervisors running same IOS code in RPR or SSO (if supported)
see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015bfa6.shtml
follow the procedure step by step and perform the initial checks about minimal versions requirements for catOS boot loader to support 64 MB flash
be prepared it takes long time to do it.
Hope to help

Hello George,
I'm afraid you did a terrible mess with this device.
First of all, the objective is to install images for native IOS modes like the following:
Here are examples of Cisco IOS Software images for the Supervisor Engine 1 and 2 with MSFC1 or MSFC2:
c6sup-is-mz.120-7.XE1 is the Catalyst 6500/6000 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(7)XE1 image (with Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC1).
c6sup11-dsv-mz.121-19.E1 is the Catalyst 6500/6000 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E1 image (with Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC1).
c6sup12-js-mz.121-13.E9 is the Catalyst 6500/6000 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(13)E9 image (with Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC2).
c6sup22-psv-mz.121-11b.EX1 is the Catalyst 6500 Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(11b)EX1 image (with Supervisor Engine 2/MSFC2).
All images containing MSFC2 in the name are images only for the MSFC2 not images for both the MSFC and layer2 supervisor
please read very carefully many times if necessary the upgrade procedure
see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015bfa6.shtml
the images that you have mentioned are not good for conversion from CatOS to IOS they are still images only for MSFC2.
if you have a valid service contract it may be wise to open a service request in order to be assisted for:
a) recovering from your failed attempt
b) moving to IOS if possible with your current hardware
I'm sorry but our remote help is limited and I had tried to warn you about the fact it is a long and delicate procedure
Hope to help
Giuseppe

Your Sup 2 must also have a msfc card in order to convert to IOS , if it is strictly a sup2 with no routing function you cannot convert it . you also have to make sure you have enough ram and flash to accomodate the generally larger IOS images . You may even need a rommon upgrade...

Threre is any configuratin in MSFC for upgrading IOS
05-29-2010 05:38 AM
I have 6509 Switch and using 2 X WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE Now its running CATOS. I want upgrade to IOS software. Which IOS is supporting for this module...
I just findout one IOS (C6MSFC2-boot-MZ.121-27b.E4.bin). Is it compatable..?
