I believe that according to Cisco docs and in order to have reasonably safe software version, you need at least three full reboots plus at least one switch-over. The upgrade pie doesn't contain any rommon updates, they are in fpd pie. You can't install fpd pie from 4.X onto 3.X. -- Grzegorz Janoszka ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
[c-nsp] Upgrading 12K IOS XR from 3.6 to 4.2
Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading 12K IOS XR from 3.6 to 4.2. But according to cisco upgrade path its seems to be from 3.6 - 3.9 , 3.9 - 4.2 ( http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/index.html#XR12000) . therefore i'm wondering that whether i can do turboboot . but there is no reference regarding the minimum rommon required to load the 4.2 IOS XR in turboboot ( min required is 1.24) . Also to upgrade the rommon there is no package available on the download section ( archive also doesn't have package) . Anyone having previous experience on 3.6 - 4.2 upgrade ? Thanks regards ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/

As far as I remember you may need to repartition in order to the the upgrade and/or upgrade your flash. We didn't do as big step as you plan to do, and indeed the intermediate upgrade to 3.9 may be necessary. Please check the Cisco upgrade procedure, they are very good in describing what you can and what you can't. The rommon upgrades are in the fpd package, it is also very well described in Cisco docs. Please note some important SMU's for 4.2, some of them are reboot SMU's. -- Grzegorz Janoszka ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/

Have you looked to see if you download the rommon separately?
