Introduction
This document describes the step-by-step procedure to upgrade the software image on Catalyst 6000/6500 series switches.
Prerequisites
Requirements
Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:
-
Verify the memory and boot ROM requirements.
-
Download a valid software image.
-
Install TFTP server on your PC.
-
Back up the current switch configuration and software image.
Components Used
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information
This document explains the step-by-step procedure to upgrade the software image on Catalyst 6000/6500 series switches that run Catalyst Operating System (CatOS) on Supervisor, Cisco IOS® on MSM/MSFC and Cisco IOS System Software. The software image upgrade is necessary when:
-
You want to implement new features in your network that are available in the new software release.
-
You want to install a new line card that is not supported by the current software version that you run on the switch.
-
A known bug affects your switch, and that bug is resolved in the next software release.
Difference Between CatOS and Cisco IOS System Software
CatOS on the Supervisor and Cisco IOS on the MSFC (Hybrid):
You can use a CatOS image as the system software in order to run the Supervisor on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches. If the optional Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) is installed, use a separate Cisco IOS image in order to run the MSFC.
Cisco IOS on both the Supervisor and MSFC (Native):
You can use a single Cisco IOS image as the system software in order to run both the Supervisor and MSFC on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches.
Note: Refer to Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches for more information.
Pre-Upgrade Steps
Check Memory and Boot ROM Requirement
Verify the minimum amount of DRAM, flash memory and Boot ROM version necessary for the new software release. Check whether your switch supports the requirements. Refer to Release Notes for Catalyst 6000/6500 Series Switches in order to verify the requirements for the new software image.
The show versioncommand displays the BootROM version, DRAM installed and the bootflash size on your switch. Issue the show versioncommand on Catalyst 6000/6500 switches that run CatOS.

The Supervisor Boot ROM version upgrade is a boot ROM hardware upgrade if necessary. You can download the latest bootstrap software image in order to upgrade the MSFC Bootstrap version. Refer to these documents in order to upgrade boot ROM on Supervisor modules:
-
Catalyst 6000 Family Supervisor Engine I and I A NMP Boot ROM Upgrade Installation Note
-
Catalyst 6000 Family Supervisor Engine 2 Boot ROM and Bootflash Device Upgrade Installation Note
Note: The Supervisor 720 does not have a Boot ROM upgrade available currently.
Download the Software Image
Download the CatOS software image onto the PC that acts as the TFTP server prior to actual image upgrade. You can download the software image from theCisco LAN Switching Software Center. See theDifference Between CatOS and Cisco IOS System Softwaresection for more information on CatOS and Cisco IOS Software.
Note: Only registered Cisco users can access internal Cisco tools and information.
Install TFTP Server
The sample output in this document uses an installation of a Cisco TFTP server on a PC that runs Microsoft ™ Windows 2000 Professional. You can use any TFTP server that can be installed on any platform. You do not need to use a PC with a Windows OS.
-
Download and install any shareware TFTP software from the Internet on the PC that you use in order to copy the CatOS software image to the switch. The TFTP server root directory must be the directory to which the software image is downloaded. You can download the images to the default root directory of the TFTP server or change the root directory path to the directory in which the software image resides. For the Cisco TFTP server, you can change the root directory from the View Menu > Options.
Note: This document was written when the Cisco TFTP server was available for download through the Software Center. Cisco no longer supports the Cisco TFTP server. If you use the Cisco TFTP server, disable the logging function to prevent excessive logs, which can disrupt the TFTP process.
In order to disable logging on the Cisco TFTP server, complete these steps:
-
Choose View Menu > Options.
-
Clear the selection of Enable Logging.
-
Click OK.
Note: Note that logging is enabled by default.
-
-
Connect a console cable between the switch console port and the PC in order to access the switch command-line interface (CLI). Refer to Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst Switchesin order to access the CLI through the hyperterminal.
Note: You can upgrade the switch through remote Telnet access. But, you lose Telnet connectivity when the switch reloads during the software upgrade. You can re-establish the Telnet session when the switch loads with the new image. But, in order to troubleshoot in case of failure, you must have local console access. Cisco recommends a switch upgrade through console access.
Backup Configuration and Software Image
Perform a backup of the switch configuration and the current software image to the PC that runs TFTP server. If your upgrade procedure fails due to reasons such as insufficient memory or not enough space on the bootflash of the switch to support the new image, you can always recover the switch to normal mode with the same image that was present in the switch. If you lose the switch configuration for any reason, you can always restore the configuration from the TFTP server. Refer to Managing Software Images and Working with Configuration Files on Catalyst Switchesfor information on how to manage the configuration files and software images:
On Catalyst 6000/6500 switches that run Cisco IOS Software, you can issue the copy startup-config tftpor the copy startup-config bootflash:commands in order to copy or backup the configuration to the TFTP server or bootflash. If you modify your configuration, make sure to issue the write memorycommand in order to copy the current configuration to startup configuration and perform the backup. You can issue the copy bootflash: tftp command in order to copy the current software images from bootflash to the TFTP server. If you want to copy the current software images from the external flashcard to the TFTP server, you can use the copy slot0: tftp command on Supervisor Engine 1 or 2. On the Supervisor Engine 720, use the copy disk0: tftp or copy disk1: tftp commands.
Note: The %% Non-volatile configuration memory invalid or not present error message shows if the startup configuration file is found empty by the switch while copy or backup of the configuration file is taken. Issue the write memory or copy run start command before you take the backup of the configuration file in order to avoid this error.
Switches that Run CatOS Software
CatOS on Supervisor Module
The Catalyst 6000/6500 switch Supervisor Engine 1 and 2 support one slot for the Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA) flash card while the Supervisor Engine 720 supports 2 slots. If you have the PCMCIA flash card installed on your switch, you have the choice to copy the new software image on bootflash or PCMCIA flash card.
This procedure uses the bootflash. If you use the PCMCIA flash card, replace the bootflash: word in all commands with slot0:when you use Supervisor 1 or 2, or disk0: / disk1: when you use Supervisor 720.
-
Ensure that you verify the memory/boot ROM requirements, have the TFTP server on your PC, and the switch console accessed from the switch console port. If you are not ready with this setup, see the Check Memory and Boot ROM Requirementsection.
-
Configure the management IP address (sc0) and check the connectivity between the switch and the PC on which TFTP server is installed. This sample scenario uses IP address 10.10.10.1 for switch management (sc0) and IP address 10.10.10.2 for the TFTP server.
!--- The management(sc0) IP address is configured on the switch.

!--- which is sufficient. In case of insufficient space
!--- to copy the new image, delete the current image
!--- with the delete command and squeeze the bootflash
!--- with the squeeze command in order to get enough space on bootflash. -
Copy the new software image into the bootflash from TFTP server and verify if the image is properly copied. Check if the file size of the new image matches exactly the size mentioned on the software center on Cisco.com. If there is a difference, check whether the image was corrupt during transfer. Download the image again in order to ensure that the switch does not go into ROMMON mode after the reload.
Note: PCs that run Microsoft Windows OS can display the file size differently than the actual size. Right click on the filename and choose Properties in order to verify the actual file size in bytes.

Switches that Run Cisco IOS Software
-
Ensure that you verify the memory/boot ROM requirements, have the TFTP server on your PC, and the switch console accessed from the switch console port. If you are not ready with this setup, see the Check Memory and Boot ROM Requirement section.
Note: Many TFTP implementations cannot transfer 16 MB or larger files. In Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(8a)E and later, system software images for Supervisor Engine II are larger than 16 MB. Use FTP or Remote Copy Protocol (RCP) in order to transfer 16 MB or larger files. Refer to Loading and Maintaining System Images and Microcode for procedures on how to use FTP or RCP. This procedure uses the Cisco TFTP server and there were no problems during the image transfer.
-
Configure the management IP address (VLAN interface), and check the connectivity between the switch and the PC on which TFTP server is installed. This example uses the IP address 10.10.10.1 for switch management (int vlan1), and the IP address 10.10.10.2 for the TFTP server.

Cisco IOS Software requires two software images:
-
the main software image
-
the bootloader image
Note: The bootloader image is mandatory for MSFC1, and must be placed in the MSFC bootflash. A bootloader image is not a requirement for the MSFC2. However, Cisco recommends that you use a boot image as described in this procedure. A boot image is a much smaller, scaled-down version of the system image. With a boot image, you can perform a TFTP image transfer if the main system image becomes corrupt or lost. If you choose to use an MSFC2 boot image, you must store it in the MSFC bootflash.
The best practice is to keep the main software image in slot0 and the boot loader image in the MSFC bootflash. Verify whether you have enough space available in the slot0 and MSFC bootflash in order to copy the new image from the TFTP server. You can check the size of the new image on the PC to which it is downloaded. The Supervisor Engine 720, uses the term
disk0:anddisk1:rather thanslot0:, so in this example, replace the wordslot0:withdisk0:ordisk1:, which depends upon which disk you use.Cat6500#dir slot0: Directory of slot0:/ 1 -rw- 21611516 Mar 01 1993 00:08:04 c6sup22-jsv-mz.121-11b.E4 24772608 bytes total (3160964 bytes free) Cat6500# !--- The free space on slot0 is around 3 MB.

!--- and the new boot loader image size is just 1.66 MB.
!--- You do not need to remove the current boot loader image. -
-
Copy the new main software image into slot0, and the boot image into bootflash from the TFTP server. Verify whether the images are copied correctly. Check that the file size of the new image matches the size on the software center. If they do not match, check whether the image got corrupt during transfer. Download the image again in order to ensure that the switch does not reload in ROMMON mode.

Supervisor Engine 720
In Supervisor Engine 720, after the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2 SX there are no seperate image files such as a bootloader image and the main IOS image. The Supervisor Engine and the MSFC both run a single bundled Cisco IOS image.
Supervisor Engine 720 Common Features:
-
64-MB bootflash device or CompactFlash adapter with 512 MB CompactFlash card (WS-CF-UPG=):
-
64-MB bootflash device (sup-bootflash:) supported in all releases
-
WS-CF-UPG= (sup-bootdisk:) supported in:
-
Release 12.2(18)SXE5 and later releases
-
Release 12.2(18)SXF and later releases
-
-
2 CompactFlash Type II slots (disk0: and disk1:)
Note: Because some of the latest software images for the Supervisor Engine 720 are larger than the bootflash device, a CompactFlash card is recommended.
Complete these steps in order to upgrade image on the supervisor module:

Software Upgrade with Redundant Supervisor Modules
Catalyst 6000/6500 series switches allow a redundant Supervisor Engine to take over if the primary Supervisor Engine fails in order to support fault resistance. Redundant Supervisor Engines must be of the same type with the same model feature card in order to support redundancy. When you install two Supervisor Engines, the first one to come online becomes the active module. The second Supervisor Engine goes into standby mode. All administrative and network management functions, such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), command-line interface (CLI) console, Telnet, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), and VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) are processed on the active Supervisor Engine. On the standby Supervisor Engine, the console port is inactive. Redundant Supervisor Engines are not swappable. The system continues to operate with the same configuration after it switches over to the redundant Supervisor Engine.
You cannot use the normal software upgrade procedure for Catalyst 6000/6500 series switches that have redundant supervisor modules. Refer toCatalyst 6000/6500 Series Switches with Redundant Supervisor Engines Software Image Upgrade Configuration Examplein order to upgrade the Catalyst 6000/6500 series switches in redundant mode.

Troubleshoot the Configuration
This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.
Error = -21 and -45: Bootflash is Full
The error occurs in CatOS switches while they try to copy an image to bootflash or squeeze the bootflash that has an incompatible format. This error occurs even if the bootflash is empty:
Console> (enable) copy tftp flash error = -21 Can not open destination file bootflash:[x] (file system full), where 'x' is the image name.
Console> (enable) squeeze bootflash: error = -45 Squeeze device bootflash failed (error reading squeeze log)
The workaround is to format the bootflash and try the operations again.
Console> (enable) format bootflash:
Software Upgrade Failed / Switch is in ROMMON
The software upgrade can fail due to reasons such as IP connectivity problems between the switch and TFTP server, incorrectly set boot variables, or the power failure during the copy operation of the software image to the switch. These issues can cause your switch to boot in ROMMON. If the switch is in ROMMON and you do not have a valid image present on the bootflash or PCMCIA Flash card, you can recover your switch to normal mode with the software recovery procedure. Refer to these documents for software recovery procedures:
-

-
Recover Catalyst 6500/6000 from a Corrupted Boot Loader Image
Known Issue: Loss of Switch Configuration Due to Software Downgrade
A software downgrade on switches that run CatOS always causes loss of configuration. Issue the copy config tftpcommand in order to back up your configuration to a TFTP server. Alternatively, issue the copy config flash command in order to back up the configuration to a Flash device.
Issue the copy tftp config or copy flash configcommands in order to get the configuration file from the TFTP server or Flash device in order to restore the configuration after the successful downgrade.
Refer to theCatalyst 6000 Command Reference Guidefor the command syntax and use of these commands.
Invalid or Unknown device slot0 error received
When you copy an image from a TFTP to slot0, this error message is received:
Invalid or Unknown device slot0 Failed to copy from tftp to slot0:
While you try to format a Flash file system, an error message similar to this can display:
SW1 (enable) format slot0: All sectors will be erased, proceed (y/n) [n]? y Enter volume id (up to 31 characters): test error = -85 Format device slot0 failed (cannot find flash algorithm)
These error messages indicate that the Flash system slot0: is not available on the device. The Flash devices are referred to with different names based on the Supervisor Engines and the size of the Flash system. If the file size of the Flash memory is greater than 20MB, it is considered a disk, as opposed to a slot.
In order to view the list of file systems available in the device, use the show file system command and issue the copy or format command with the appropriate Flash device name.
Device does not Contain a Valid Magic Number Error Received
The "device does not contain a valid magic number" error message displays on a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch when it is reloaded after an upgrade or within conversion.
When this error message is prompted, the switch fails to load the Cisco IOS software image. The issue is caused by a corrupted file system on the device from which the CPU tries to load the Cisco IOS software image.
Also when you enter the dir disk0: or dir slot0: commands, an unformatted Flash PC card returns a "bad device block info" or "invalid magic number" error message.
In order to resolve the issue, perform these steps:
-
Go to ROM monitor (ROMmon) mode.
-
Manually boot the image with bootflash.
-
Check whether the size of the image in slot0 is the same as the image size downloaded from the TFTP server.
-
If the image size is the same,
formatthe slot0 or disk0, and download a new image from the TFTP server with thecopycommand.
Note: It is not possible to copy multiple files in a single command.
-
Check whether the image has been downloaded directly from TFTP to slot 0 or downloaded to an ATA card and then copied from ATA cards to slot 0. If the image has been downloaded directly to the ATA cards, format the ATA cards before you download the image from the TFTP server.
Router Reloads After Upgrade
The config-register value for SP on the supervisor is set to 0x2142. The "4" indicates the ignore system config. The RP ROMMON has the value of 0x2102.
Due to this setting, the maximum routes code ignores the value that comes from the configuration which is non-default maximum routes. Once ignored, there is a mismatch between the values configured to the values loaded, This causes the router to reload.
As workaround, configure the config-register value to 0x2102 on SP with these commands:
Switch#configure terminal Switch(config)#config-register 0x2102 Switch#write memory !--- To save the configuration.
After configuration, check if the config-register value is same for RP and SP. The value must be 0x2102.
-
To check RP config-register value, use the
show bootcommand. -
To check SP config-register value, use the
remote command switch show versioncommand.
