ASR upgrade from 5.3.3 to 6.3.3

[mrkasuj]

Hi,

I'm working on upgrading ASR from 5.3.3 to 6.3.3. I've tested this upgrade in the lab and it was very straight forward upgrade. However in production i'm getting some errors.

I did install add with the tar file that went ok and now the activation itself gives error about following package incompatibilities. Any hints whats missing? I've checked the bridge SMU package and don't see anything thats needed for 5.3.3-6.3.3 upgrade.

    Info:     This operation will activate the following packages:

    Info:         disk0:asr9k-9000v-nV-px-6.3.3

    Info:         disk0:asr9k-bng-px-6.3.3

You probably have the asr9k-asr901-nV-5.3.3 package active? When upgrading you need to upgrade to the exact same combination of packages or a superset of them.

That's what it looks like from the error messages, that package was removed as support for the 901 as a satellite was removed.

Hi

Yep I have both of those you mentioned:

disk0:asr9k-asr901-nV-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-9000v-nV-px-5.3.3

Node 0/RSP0/CPU0 [RP] [SDR: Owner]
Boot Device: disk0:
Boot Image: /disk0/asr9k-os-mbi-5.3.3/0x100000/mbiasr9k-rp.vm
Active Packages:
disk0:asr9k-services-infra-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-services-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-optic-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-mpls-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-mini-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-mcast-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-li-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-fpd-px-5.3.3

disk0:asr9k-9000v-nV-px-5.3.3
disk0:asr9k-k9sec-px-5.3.3

As I understand I need to remove disk0:asr9k-asr901-nV-px-5.3.3 and then go with the upgrade?

[Fredrik Lönnman]

Yes exactly. Compare your 6.3.3 packages with the current 5.3.3 packages with "admin show install summary", if you have a 5.3.3 package that does not exist for 6.3.3 you have to deactivate it before upgrading.

Got it, makes sense. 

Thank you
