Upgrading Field-Programmable Devices

In general terms, field-programmable devices (FPDs) are hardware devices implemented on router cards that support separate upgrades. The term FPD has been introduced to collectively and generically describe any type of programmable hardware device on Ethernet Line Cards. FPDs were introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers to support the Ethernet Line Cards.

This chapter describes the information that you need to verify the image versions and to perform Ethernet Line Card FPD upgrades.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Note
The instructions provided in this section are not always feasible for all the operating network environments.

This section contains the following topics:

Overview of FPD Images and Packages

The Cisco IOS image comes bundled with the FPD image in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. In an Ethernet Line Card FPD incompatibility disables all the interfaces on that Ethernet Line Card until the incompatibility is addressed.

Upgrading Your Cisco IOS Release and FPD Image

To upgrade your Cisco IOS release and FPD image, perform the following steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Download the Ethernet Line Card package for the Cisco IOS release that you are upgrading to. The package contains both the Cisco IOS image and the FPD image.
  2. Boot the new version of Cisco IOS.
  3. When the new version of Cisco IOS boots, search for the bundled FPD image. The FPD images will be updated automatically as part of the Cisco IOS boot process.
  4. After the router has booted, verify that the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Download the Ethernet Line Card package for the Cisco IOS release that you are upgrading to. The package contains both the Cisco IOS image and the FPD image.

Step 2

Boot the new version of Cisco IOS.

Step 3

When the new version of Cisco IOS boots, search for the bundled FPD image. The FPD images will be updated automatically as part of the Cisco IOS boot process.

Step 4

After the router has booted, verify that the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.

Upgrading Only Your Cisco IOS Release and Retaining Your Current FPD Image

You can choose to upgrade your Cisco IOS release with or without retaining your current FPD image. Alternatively, you can choose to upgrade your Cisco IOS image and retain your current FPD image, although this is not recommended.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Use the no upgrade fpd auto command to disable the bundled FPD image. This disables the Auto Upgrade feature.
  2. Save the configuration.
  3. Load the new image.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Use the no upgrade fpd auto command to disable the bundled FPD image. This disables the Auto Upgrade feature.

Step 2

Save the configuration.

Step 3

Load the new image.

Note 
If your current FPD image is not compatible with the new image, the Ethernet Line Cards do not come online.

Upgrading FPD Images in a Production System

Adding an Ethernet Line Card to a production system presents the possibility that the Ethernet Line Card may contain versions of FPD images that are incompatible with the Cisco IOS release currently running on the router. In addition, the FPD upgrade operation can be a very CPU-intensive operation and therefore, the upgrade operation may take more time when it is performed on a production system. The performance impact will vary depending on various factors, including network traffic load, the type of processing engine used, type of Ethernet Line Card, and the type of service configured.

For these reasons, we recommend that one of the following alternatives be used to perform the FPD upgrade on a production system if possible:

Using a Nonproduction System to Upgrade the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Ethernet Line Card FPD Image

Before beginning the upgrade, ensure that:

  • The spare system is running the same version of the Cisco IOS software release that the target production system is running.
  • The Automatic Upgrade feature is enabled on the spare system. (The Automatic Upgrade feature is enabled by default. It can also be enabled using the upgrade fpd auto command).

Perform the following procedure to carry out an upgrade on the spare system:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the spare system.
  2. Verify that the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.
  3. Remove the Ethernet Line Card from the spare system after the upgrade.
  4. Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the target production system.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the spare system.

If an upgrade is required, the system will perform the necessary FPD image updates so that when this Ethernet Line Card is inserted to the target production system it will not trigger an FPD upgrade operation there.

Step 2

Verify that the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.

Step 3

Remove the Ethernet Line Card from the spare system after the upgrade.

Step 4

Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the target production system.

Verifying System Compatibility

If a spare system is not available to perform an upgrade, you can check for system compatibility by disabling the Automatic Upgrade feature before inserting the Ethernet Line Card. (The Automatic Upgrade feature is enabled by default. It can be disabled by using the no upgrade fpd auto command.)

If the FPD images on the Ethernet Line Card are compatible with the system, you will only need to re-enable the Automatic Upgrade feature using the upgrade fpd auto command.

Perform the following procedure to check the FPD images on the Ethernet Line Card for system compatibility:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Disable the Automatic Upgrade feature using the no upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.
  2. Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the system.
  3. Re-enable the Automatic Upgrade feature using the upgrade fpd auto command in the global configuration mode.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Disable the Automatic Upgrade feature using the no upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.

Step 2

Insert the Ethernet Line Card into the system.

If the FPD images are compatible, the Ethernet Line Card will operate successfully after bootup.

If the FPD images are not compatible, the Ethernet Line Card is disabled. At this point, we recommend that you wait for a scheduled maintenance during which the system will be offline, to manually perform the FPD upgrade, as described in the Manually Upgrading Ethernet Line Card FPD Images.

Step 3

Re-enable the Automatic Upgrade feature using the upgrade fpd auto command in the global configuration mode.

Optional FPD Procedures

This section provides information about optional FPD-related functions. None of the topics discussed in this section are necessary for completing FPD upgrades, but may be useful in some FPD-related scenarios. It covers the following topics:

Manually Upgrading Ethernet Line Card FPD Images

To manually upgrade the current FPD version on an Ethernet Line Card, use the following command: 


Router# upgrade hw-module subslot 
[slot-number /subslot-number ]  fpd bundle [reload]

In this example, slot-number is the slot where the Ethernet Line Card is installed, subslot-number is the subslot number where the Ethernet Line Card is located, fpd indicates the type of upgrade required, bundle selects the bundled FPD package, and reload specifies that the Ethernet Line Card is automatically reloaded after the upgrade. Note that subslot slot-number /subslot-number is used to specify an Ethernet Line Card FPD upgrade.


Caution

The Ethernet Line Card will automatically be reloaded to complete the FPD upgrade.


Caution

An image upgrade may take a long time to be completed depending on the Ethernet Line Card.

Upgrading Multiple FPD Images

A single piece of hardware can contain multiple FPD images. The router can upgrade up to three FPD images simultaneously. However, only one FPD upgrade per router slot can occur at a time.

Users should note that some FPD images require the Ethernet Line Card to reload to be completed. Since the FPD upgrade process will perform this step automatically, users do not have to intervene. However, the other FPDs in the hardware of the specified slot will have to wait for this reload to be completed before their upgrade process begins.

With a manual upgrade, you must include the reload option to cause the Ethernet Line Card to reload automatically. See the description provided for the upgrade hw-module subslot command earlier in this section.

During an automatic upgrade, the router will upgrade as many FPDs as possible at a time. No user intervention is possible or necessary. The upgrade process will not stop until all the FPD images have been updated.

During manual upgrades, it is important to note that users can only specify upgrades for a single piece of hardware each time the upgrade hw-module subslot [slot-number /subslot-number ] command is entered. The maximum of three simultaneous upgrades applies to manual upgrades as well. If you individually specify multiple manual FPD upgrades, only three FPDs can be upgraded simultaneously and that can only occur when the hardware is in different router slots. The FPD upgrade process will stop when all the FPDs for the specified hardware have been upgraded.

Displaying Current and Minimum Required FPD Image Versions

To display the current version of FPD images on the Ethernet Line Cards installed on your router, use the show hw-module slot-number / subslot-number | all ] fpd command, where slot-number is the slot number where the Ethernet Line Card is installed, and subslot-number is the number of the Ethernet Line Card subslot where a target Ethernet Line Card is located. Entering the all keyword shows information pertaining to the hardware in all the router slots.

The following examples show the output when the show command is used.

The following sample shows that FPD versions on the Ethernet Line Cards in the system meet the minimum requirements.

For ASR1000-2T+20X1GE: 


Router# show hw-module subslot all fpd

Troubleshooting Problems with FPD Image Upgrades

This section contains information to help troubleshoot problems that may occur during the upgrade process.

It contains the following topics:

Power Failure or Removal of an Ethernet Line Card During an FPD Image Upgrade

These instructions should only be used if a previous upgrade attempt has failed due to an external reason such as a power failure or removal of an Ethernet Line Card or a SPA.

If the FPD upgrade operation is interrupted by a power failure or the removal of an Ethernet Line Card or a SPA, it could corrupt the FPD image. This corruption of the FPD image file makes the SPA or the Ethernet Line Card unusable by the router and the system displays the following messages when it tries to power up the SPA or the Ethernet Line Card:

Performing an FPD Recovery Upgrade

The recovery upgrade procedure can only be performed on an Ethernet Line Card or a SPA that has been powered off by the system after it has failed all of the retries attempted to initialize the Ethernet Line Card or the SPA.

The following example displays the output of an attempt to perform a recovery upgrade before all the initialization retries have been attempted for the SPA in subslot 0/1.


Note
Because a recovery upgrade is done at a more conservative speed, it may take more than the estimated upgrade time.

Note
When the system asks Do you want to perform the recovery upgrade operation? Answer y to this question only if you have attempted an FPD upgrade that has failed due to a power failure or an Ethernet Line Card removal.Contact Cisco Technical Support, if you have not had a failed upgrade attempt due to a power failure or an Ethernet Line Card removal.

When the following error message is displayed, you can perform the recovery upgrade: 


Nov.28 11:31:31:%SPA_OIR-3-SPA_POWERED_OFF:subslot 0/1:SPA 4xOC3 POS SPA powered off after 5 failures within 600 seconds

Note
You must wait to see this error message before you attempt the upgrade.

Perform the manual FPD image upgrade method using the upgrade hw-module subslot command to recover from a corrupted image after the Ethernet Line Card has been powered off by the system. In this command, slot-number is the slot where the Ethernet Line Card is installed; subslot-number is always 0.

The following example displays the console output of a recovery upgrade operation: 


Router# upgrade hw-module subslot 0/1 fpd bundled
% Cannot get FPD version information from SPA-4XOC3-POS in subslot 0/1.
  If a previous upgrade attempt on the target card was interrupted, then the
  corruption of FPD image might have prevented the card from coming online. 
  If this is the case, then a recovery upgrade would be required to fix the 
  failure.

% NOTES:
	- Use 'show upgrade fpd progress' command to view the progress of the FPD
    upgrade.
	- Upgrade or downgrade operation can only be performed with FPD images	that have compatible version with the one defined for this IOS image.	That is to have the same major version number and with minor version	number no lower than the one defined for Minimum Required Version.
	- Since the target card is currently in disabled state, it will be 
    automatically reloaded after the upgrade operation for the changes to 
    take effect.
