I need some help and clarification on this issue. I am in the process of upgrading the IOS on a
Switch from Upgrading of the IOS from c6sup22-psv-mz.121-19.E1a.bin to 12.2(18)SXD7b c6k222-ps-mz.12.2-18.SXD7b.
The show version gives the following
ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(11r)E1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
BOOTLDR: c6sup2_rp Software (c6sup2_rp-PSV-M), Version 12.1(19)E1a, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
uptime is 4 days, 13 hours, 18 minutes
Time since switched to active is 4 days, 13 hours, 12 minutes
System returned to ROM by power-on (SP by power-on)
System restarted at 02:59:58 BST Sun Oct 19 2008
System image file is "sup-bootflash:c6sup22-psv-mz.121-19.E1a.bin"

32768K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 512K).
Standby is up
Standby has 112640K/18432K bytes of memory.
Configuration register is 0x2102
Is this enough for the upgrade?
The Cisco Websites says I need the following for the upgrade
IP
c6k222-psv-mz.122-18.SXD7b.bin
Release Date: 12/Dec/2006
IP
Size: 37385.21 KB (38282452 bytes)
Minimum Memory: DRAM:256 MB Flash:64 MB
Do I have enough DRAM and if I dont what do I need?
Thanks

Hi, you do no have the DRAM required, you currently have 128 Megs shown in the show version output of 112640K/18432K bytes of memory
You need 256 DRAM
here is memory tables for various platforms

So which one do I purchase
MEM-MSFC2-512M or MEM-S2-512M.
We have a Supervisor 2 / MSFC 2 card running native IOS.
If I do a remote switch command on the same show version I get the folloiwng
remote command switch show vers

MEM-S2-512M
Thanks

Thank you. I got this email from Cisco.
..........It looks to me like you were trying to install sup memory instead of MSFC memory. MEM-S2-512MB is memory for the supervisor and MEM-MSFC2-512MB= is the memory for the MSFC. They aren't interchangeable. Here's a link regarding the MSFC memory installation.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Config_Notes/78_6953.html
But, if you have MEM-S2-512MB and not MEM-MSFC2-512MB=, you won't be able to upgrade to get the new IOS installed. ............
What does this mean, as this is now confusing.
My thots were that all I need was MEM-S"-512M but when this was written to me from Cisco, it kind of confused me.
Please help.

You need the MSFC memory upgrade (MEM-MSFC2-512MB=) because you are running the switch in native mode, not hybrid (switch + router).
In native mode the "switch" is running IOS from the MSFC.
In hybrid mode the sup runs CatOS and the MSFC IOS.
Hope this helps
