Following is a summary that I wrote for my use, based on the Cisco instructions. At the time I had a limitation with the size of the flash; I could not save the new IOS on my 20 Mbytes flash, so I used a small version, based on a sugestion from a colleage in this group.
I ended up discovering that you can save the final version on the bootflash, get your switch working, format the bootflash and copy the final version again. The problem here is that if anything goes wrong on the format process, you will not have a version to boot. Hope be useful. Good Luck ! On slot0: there is the CATOS image and the small IOS image GIG_SPO> (enable) dir slot0: May 22 2003 16:54:38 cat6000-sup2.6-3-4a.bin May 22 2003 17:02:08 c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-5c.EX.bin 1. Change the configuration register setting so that the switch does not boot the CatOS image and goes to ROMMON SP> (enable) set boot config-register 0x0 2. Reset the switch SP> (enable) reset the switch goes to SP ROMMON: 3. Issue the set command at the SP ROMMON prompt to check the environment variables. You will notice that the switch is currently set to boot into the CatOS image: rommon 1 > set 4. Remove the slot0:switch.cfg from the environment settings. rommon 2 > CONFIG_FILE= 5. Save the environment variable rommon 3 > sync 6. Issue the dir command to look at the different devices you have available from which to boot the Integrated Cisco IOS (Native Mode) image rommon 4 > dir slot0: 7. Since you have changed the environment variables in Step 14, you have to issue the reset command before you can boot the switch rommon 6 > reset 8. Issue the boot command to start the bootup sequence: rommon 1 > boot slot0:c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-5c.EX.bin Note: If your switch does not take the above command, try issuing the boot sup-bootflash: command instead !---You will be at the router prompt and the conversion is complete. !---System is up and running with the Integrated Cisco IOS (Native Mode) image. Router> The error messages displayed are annoying; to get them to stop popping up, issue the no service config 9. Format the sup-bootflash: (Supervisor boot Flash) Router#format sup-bootflash: 10. Copy the Integrated Cisco IOS (Native Mode) image from TFTP server to the Supervisor bootflash configure the router so it can use tftp conf t int vlan 11 ip ad 10.6.9.1 255.255.248.0 ping 10.6.13.133 (will be on old port 5/47) Router# copy tftp sup-bootflash: (here is a difference from the steps on the Cisco page; there is the command copy from slot0 to sup-bootflash) the file is c6sup22-jo3sv-mz.121-13.E6.bin if “copy tftp sup-bootflash:” do not work here, copy the small version from slot0 to bootflash copy slot0:c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-5c.EX.bin sup-bootflash: 11. Issue the following set of commands to set and verify the environment variable:. Router#show bootvar !---Boot variable is set to load the MSFC2 image. Router(config)# boot system sup-bootflash:c6sup22-jo3sv-mz.121-13.E6.bin (or boot system sup-bootflash:c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-5c.EX.bin depending ot the step before) Note: When running Integrated Cisco IOS (Native Mode) on the Catalyst 6000 platform, the copy running-config startup-config command will not save the environment variables. As a result, the system may not load the correct image at the next reload. Use the write memory command. Router# write mem 12. Check the SP boot register Router# remote command switch show bootvar Router(config)#config-register 0x2102 Router#write memory Router#remote command show bootvar 13. The final step is to reload the switch: Router#reload Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=72099&t=72073 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
