I attempted to upgrade a Cat6K on Sunday with little success, shame as the 5Ks worked a treat. If I show the steps below if anyone can point out where I went wrong. Here's the IOS version I started with: IOS (tm) c6sup2_rp Software (c6sup2_rp-IS-M), Version 12.1(3a)E4 I wanted the load this version of IOS c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3 which is an IP image.
I copied the image into the bootflash of the Cat6k, here's the file below: CAT6k#sh bootflash: -#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 .. image 6031AC06 206DF4 25 1600884 Aug 02 2001 18:36:39 c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-3a.E4 2 .. image 1F7C0C69 C20430 22 8977828 Jun 19 2002 08:12:06 c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3 I didn't place it in the sup-bootflash as I didn't have room for both images. Also I didn't want to erase an image I new that worked and then go through the laborious process of copying files via xmodem if the new image wouldn't load. Here's the file on the sup-bootflash CAT6k#sh sup-bootflash: -#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 .. image B3497649 8C4B74 23 8932084 Aug 02 2001 18:33:46 c6sup12-is-mz.121-3a.E4 To load the image I placed the following line in the config boot system flash bootflash:c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3. Saved the config and checked the bootvar and all seemed OK. I reloaded the switch and got the following error on bootup System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(1) Copyright (c) 1994-1999 by cisco Systems, Inc. c6k_sup1 processor with 65536 Kbytes of main memory Autoboot executing command: "boot bootflash:c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3" open(): Open Error = -9 loadprog: error - on file open boot: cannot load "bootflash:c6sup12-is-mz.121-4.E3" Exit at the end of BOOT string rommon 1 > Any obvious mistakes in my approach?
