Replacing Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Components

The router is equipped as ordered and is ready for installation and startup when it is shipped. As network requirements change, you may need to upgrade the system by adding or changing components. This chapter describes how to maintain router components.

Prerequisites and Preparation

Before you perform any of the procedures in this chapter, be sure that you:

Have access to the safety and compliance document during the installation, see:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/rcsi/regulatory/compliance/asr9krcsi.html

Field Replaceable Units

In the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, and Cisco ASR 9904 Router, the following components are field replaceable units (FRU):

  • All line cards

  • RSP cards

  • Power modules

  • Fan trays

  • Air filters

  • Line card and RSP blank fillers

  • Compact flash disk

  • Transceiver modules

  • Optional card cage doors (Cisco ASR 9010 Router only)


Note
The backplane is not field-replaceable.

In the Cisco ASR 9906 Router, Cisco ASR 9910 Router, Cisco ASR 9912 Router, and Cisco ASR 9922 Router, the following components are FRUs:

  • All line cards

  • RP cards

  • RSP cards (only for Cisco ASR 9906 Router and Cisco ASR 9910 Router)

  • Fabric cards

  • Power modules

  • Fan trays and covers

  • Air filters

  • Foam media (only for Cisco ASR 9922 Router, Cisco ASR 9912 Router)

  • Blank line card fillers

  • Transceiver modules

  • Optional card cage doors


Note
The backplane, midplane (only for Cisco ASR 9906 Router and Cisco ASR 9910 Router), PEM, and BPID cards are not FRUs but are field serviceable.

Online Insertion and Removal

Most Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers FRUs can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system operating. This is known as online insertion and removal (OIR). Power modules, fan trays, Route Switch Processor (RSP) cards, Route Processor (RP) cards, Fabric Controller (FC) cards, Line Cards (LCs), shared port adapter (SPA), and SPA interface processor (SIP) cards all support OIR. Unless otherwise noted, the maintenance tasks described in this chapter can be performed while the router remains powered on.


Caution

Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.


Note
Although the power trays are not a true FRU because they do not support OIR, a procedure for replacing the power trays in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers is included in this chapter if a replacement becomes necessary.

The following table displays the supported line cards, ports, and OIR duration for QDD-400G-ZR-S and QDD-400G-ZRP-S optical modules:

OIR Monitoring

The BPID board monitors OIR by counting the number of card insertions for each slot and saving that information in non-volatile memory. OIR monitoring is done for all fan trays, RSP cards, RP cards, FCs, and LCs. A card insertion is determined by the CAN Bus Controller (CBC) of the inserted card booting up and sending a CBC message which is intercepted by the BPID board. Note that a CBC reset or power cycle on a card will also be interpreted as a card insertion.


Note
A card with an OIR count that exceeds 175 will generate a minor alarm against that slot. If the card OIR count exceeds 200, a major alarm is generated against that slot. Fan tray insertion counts are not checked against a threshold. See the Release Notes for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.1 for information about CLI commands for obtaining and resetting card insertion data.

Powering Off the Router


Caution

Do not turn off the switch on the power tray to remove individual power modules. Power modules support OIR, so they can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system operating.

If it becomes necessary to turn all power off to the router, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Set the power switch on each power tray to the off (0) position.

Step 2

Power off all circuit breakers for the source power lines connected to the power trays.

Step 3

Verify that the Pwr OK indicator on each power module is off.

Step 4

Verify that the OK indicator on the fan tray is off.

Replacing the Chassis Air Filter

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are equipped with user-replaceable air filters that help prevent dust from being drawn into the router. One time per month (or more often in dusty environments), examine the air filters for damage and cleanliness.


Note
In the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router, and Cisco ASR 9910 Router, the chassis air filter is not serviceable. We recommend that you replace the filter at regular maintenance intervals. The interval may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the environment.

Note
In the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, the three air filters (left, center, and right) contain foam media which filters the air going into the chassis. The three air filters can be removed from the chassis so that the foam media (Cisco PIDs 9922-CEN-FLTRMED= and 9922-LR-FLTRMED=) can be replaced on a regular maintenance interval. The interval may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the environment.

Caution
Damage to the air filter can restrict the airflow, cause overheating in the router, and degrade electromagnetic interference (EMI) compliance. Be careful when cleaning and replacing the filter.

This table describes the air filter locations for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

Required Tools and Equipment

  • 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver (torque 10 in-lb)

Removing a Fan Tray

Follow these steps to remove and replace the fan trays:


Caution
Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.

Caution
Be sure that the fans have stopped running before removing the fan tray. The fans can take from 3 to 5 seconds to completely stop running after disengaging the fan tray latch. Handling the fan tray before the fans have stopped running could cause fingertip injury.

Caution

On ASR 9904 Router, complete the fan tray replacement within 45 seconds to prevent system shutdown due to overheating.

Note
Due to air leakage, the chassis should not be operated with any of the fan trays completely missing. Replace any missing fan tray within five minutes. Any fan tray replacement should be performed when the chassis is back to room temperature.

Note
If the accessory grill has been installed on the front of the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, you must remove it before you can remove the lower fan tray. You can remove the accessory grill by simply pulling on the grill until it comes loose. See Installing Base Chassis Accessories on the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, and Installing Base Chassis Accessories on the Cisco ASR 9010 Router for information about the accessory grill.

Note
If the fan tray cover has been installed on the front of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router or Cisco ASR 9912 Router, you must remove it before you can remove the fan tray. Remove the fan tray cover by simply pulling on the cover until it comes loose.

To remove a fan tray from the chassis (see Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9010 Router Chassis, Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9922 Router Chassis, Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9912 Router Chassis, or Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9006 Router Chassis):

Procedure

Step 1

Use the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw(s) that secure the fan tray.

Step 2

Use the handle on the fan tray front panel to pull the fan tray halfway out of the module bay.

Step 3

Each Cisco ASR 9910 Router version 1 fan tray weighs about 26.55 pounds (12.04 kg). Each Cisco ASR 9906 Router fan tray weighs about 8.0 pounds (3.63 kg). Each Cisco ASR 9922 Router fan tray or Cisco ASR 9010 Router version 2 fan tray weighs about 18 pounds (8.18 kg).

Installing a Fan Tray


Note

If you are upgrading a fan tray, follow these guidelines:

  • Remove and install fan trays one at a time.

  • Perform FPD upgrade on the fan tray. Refer to the "Upgrading Field-Programmable Devices" chapter in the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

To install a fan tray into the chassis:

Procedure

Step 1

Lift the fan tray (with two hands) and slide it halfway into the module bay.

Step 2

Slowly push the fan tray into the chassis until it mates with the backplane connector at the back of the module bay.

Caution

 
To prevent damage to the connectors, do not use excessive force when inserting the fan tray into the chassis.

Step 3

Tighten the captive screw(s) on the fan tray using the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb to secure it to the chassis.

Step 4

Verify that the (green) OK status indicator on the front of the fan tray goes on. If the OK indicator does not light, see Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem.

Removing and Replacing Power System Components

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers support OIR of power modules. If you are replacing a redundant power module, you can remove and install the power module while the system remains powered on without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature enables you to replace a power module while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.

However, to maintain operational redundancy and proper cooling, and to meet EMI compliance standards, you must have at least one working power module installed (more than one for a fully configured system). When you remove a failed power module with the router in operation, perform the replacement as quickly as possible. Make sure you have the replacement power module ready before beginning the removal and installation procedure.


Note
For the RSP/RP to communicate properly to a power module in a power tray, input power to at least one of the power modules in the power tray should be present.

This section contains procedures on how to remove and install AC and DC power modules used in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.


Caution

Do not turn off the switch on the power tray to remove individual power modules. Power modules support OIR, so they can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system operating.


Note

  • Before removing a power module (AC or DC) during an OIR procedure, run the show environment power-supply location all command to check for the capacity of a single power module and the worst case power availability. Proceed with the OIR procedure only if the worst case power availability is more than the capacity of a single power module in the router.

  • We recommend you to replace one power module at a time.

Changing Between Version 1, Version 2, Version 3, AC, and DC Power Modules


Note
The pwrmod_change command is not supported on the Cisco ASR 9912 Router and Cisco ASR 9922 Router.

Follow these steps when changing between version 1, version 2, version 3, AC, and DC power modules:

Procedure

  chassis type: 10-slot
  chassis bpid: 0x2fa, PID: ASR-9010-DC
  UDI name: ASR-9010 DC, UDI desc: ASR-9010 DC

Step 4

Confirm your choice.

Example:


Please confirm that you wish to upgrade from AC power supply version 2 power system to 
DC power supply version 2 power system by typing "yes" at the prompt below. Any other 
response will cancel the power system change operation [yes/cancel]?
yes

Step 5

After the success message appears, power down the chassis.

Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis

This section describes the procedures for removing and installing an RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC.

See the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide for information about removing and installing SIP and SPA cards.


Caution
Handle all cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or any connector pins. After removing a card, carefully place it in an antistatic bag or similar environment to protect it from ESD and dust in the optic ports (fiber-optic line cards).

Caution
Be careful to avoid damaging the EMI gasket that runs along the full height of the card front panel edges. Damage to the EMI gasket can affect the ability of your system to meet EMI requirements.

Caution
To avoid damaging card mechanical components, never carry an RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC by the captive installation screws or ejector levers. Doing so can damage these components and cause card insertion problems.

Note
The BPID board monitors OIR by counting the number of card insertions for each slot and saving that information in non-volatile memory. OIR monitoring is done for all line cards, the RSP, the RP, and the fan trays. See OIR Monitoring for more information.

Removing Cards from the Chassis

Follow these steps to remove and replace RP, RSP, FC, or LC from the card cage:

Procedure

Step 1

Power down the card using either of the below options:

  • Option 'a' to power down the FC or LC
  • Option 'b' to power down RP or RSP in a router running Cisco ios XR 64-bit OS
  • Option 'c' to power down RP or RSP in a router running Cisco ios XR 32-bit OS

  1. Use the CLI to power down the FC or LC.

    
Router# admin
Router(admin)# config
Router(admin-config)# hw-module power disable location location
Router(admin-config)# commit
Router(admin-config)# exit

    The location is specified in rack/slot/cpu notation. For example, hw-module power disable location 0/1/CPU0.

  2. Use this procedure to power down RP or RSP card on the router running Cisco IOS XR 64-bit OS:

    
Router# admin
Router(admin)# config
Router(admin-config)# hw-module location location shutdown
Router(admin-config)# commit
Router(admin-config)# exit

    This gracefully shuts down route processor module (standby RP/RSP) to prevent any of the file systems from being corrupted.

    Note

     

    We recommend to shut down the RP or RSP module after switching it to the standby node.

    Verify that the route processor LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can verify that the card is in powered off state running the show platform command to verify the status of the card to be POWERED_OFF.

  3. Use this procedure to power down RP or RSP card on the router running Cisco IOS XR 32-bit OS

    The router running Cisco IOS XR 32-bit OS doesn’t support hw-module location <loc> shutdown command. Therefore, you must connect to the console port of RP or RSP and press CTRL+C to break into ROMMON. Later disconnect the cables and pull the RP or RSP card (standby RP or RSP) out of the slot.

    Note

     

    We recommend to shut down the RP or RSP module after switching it to the standby node.

  4. Disengage the card from the back plane by performing Step 3a, 3b, and 3c. Leave the card inside the slot. Once the card is powered down wait 10 minutes for the line card to cool down below a temperature suitable to touch

Step 2

Disconnect any cables from the card.

  1. Identify the type of line card and its slot number. Write this information down before you disconnect the cables. You’ll need this information when you reinstall the line cards.

  2. Identify the line card cable and its port connection. Label the cable with this information.

  3. Starting with the port of the line card farthest from the cable management bracket, disconnect the interface cable connectors from each of the line card ports.

  4. Carefully remove the cables from the cable-management bracket attached to the front panel of the line card.

  5. (Optional) Use the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb to loosen the captive screw that secures the cable-management bracket to the line card and remove the cable-management bracket from the line card.

  6. Carefully remove the cables from the horizontal cable management tray at the top of the chassis or side cable management brackets (Cisco ASR 9006 Router) and carefully place the cable bundle out of the way.

Step 3

Remove the card:

  1. Use the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at each end of the card front panel.

  2. On the FC and LC push in both ejector lever release buttons.

  3. Pivot the ejector levers to unseat the card from the backplane connector.

  4. Slide the card out of the slot and place it directly into an antistatic bag or other ESD-preventive container.

    Caution

     
    A line card surface temperature may exceed 55 °C during normal operation. To avoid burn injuries, please take necessary precautions while removing the heated card from the chassis.

Replacing Cards in the Chassis

Follow these steps to replace a previously removed RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC from the card cage:

Procedure

Step 1

Install the card:

  1. Slide the card into the slot, being sure to install the card in the same slot you recorded when you removed the card.

  2. Use the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb to tighten the captive screws at each end of the card front panel.

  3. Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card into the backplane connector.

Step 2

Reconnect cables to the card:

  1. If you previously disconnected the card cable management bracket, reattach it to the card and use the 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb to tighten the captive screw on the bracket to secure it to the card front panel.

  2. Carefully reroute the cables through the horizontal cable management tray at the top of the chassis (the Cisco ASR 9922 Router has an additional tray at the bottom of the chassis) or side cable management brackets (Cisco ASR 9006 Router and Cisco ASR 9904 Router).

  3. Carefully reroute cables through the card cable-management bracket.

  4. Starting with the port of the card closest to the cable management bracket, reconnect the interface cable connectors to each of the card ports using the cable and port connection information you recorded when removing the cables.

Step 3

If the card was powered down using CLI before removal, then power up the card using the CLI: 


Router# admin
Router(admin)# config
Router(admin-config)# no hw-module power disable location location
Router(admin-config)# commit
Router(admin-config)# exit

The location is specified in rack/slot/cpu notation. For example, no hw-module power disable location 0/1/CPU0.

The RSP or RP module can be power on with manual reload.

Repackaging the Line Card for Return Shipment

Migrating from RP1 to RP2 Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router.

  • The router must be running Cisco IOS XR software release 5.3.2 or later version.

  • The router must have two RP1 cards (active and standby) up and running.

  • Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Card (first generation) must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RP2.

  • Cisco ASR 9000 High Density 100GE Ethernet line cards must be power down or temporarily removed before starting the migration procedure. Use the hw-module power disable location node-id command in admin-config mode to power down the LC.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RP0 and RP1 are in Ready State.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
Wed Jun 17 11:18:51.391 PST 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RP0/CPU0(A)  0/RP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RP0/CPU0(P)  0/RP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready) 

Router# show redundancy 

Wed Jun 17 11:20:19.086 PST

Active node reload "Cause: Initiating switch-over." 
Standby node reload "Cause: Initiating switch-over."

Step 2

Remove the standby RP1 card and insert RP2. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 3

Connect to RP2 console port and type CTRL+C to break into ROMMON.

Step 4

From the ROMMON prompt of RP2, set ROMMON variable to activate 1GE mode for peer RP communication:

Example:


rommon B1> RSP_LINK_1G=1
rommon B1> sync

Step 5

Verify that config register is set correctly in ROMMON:

Example:


rommon B1> confreg

Step 6

Reset RP2 card in ROMMON. Now the RP2 becomes the standby RP in slot 0 and synchronizes configuration from active RSP440 in slot 1.

Example:


rommon B1> reset –h

Note

 
The RP2 card reloads and user is disconnected from ROMMON automatically.

Step 7

Wait until standby node reach NSR-ready state and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Step 8

From active RP, verify the both RPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other:

Example:


 #more disk0:snmp/ifindex-table loc 0/rp0/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/ifindex-table loc 0/rp1/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/snmp_persist loc 0/rp0/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/snmp_persist loc 0/rp1/cpu0

Step 9

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RP1 to RP2 disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RPs.

Step 10

Perform redundancy switchover from active RP1 to standby RP2.

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Note

 
A physical OIR is not supported, hence you must perform CLI switchover.

Step 11

Verify that the active RP is RP2 and it has the running configuration from RP1.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
Router# show running config

Step 12

Remove RP1. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 13

Insert and boot RP2. After booting, the RP2 becomes standby RP. Do not set the ROMMON variable.

Step 14

Repeat Step 7, Step 8 and Step 9.

Step 15

(Optional) Perform FPD upgrade on the RP2. Use these commands:

Example:


Router#(admin) upgrade hw-module fpd all location 0/rsp0/cpu0 
Router#(admin) upgrade hw-module fpd all location 0/rsp1/cpu0

Step 16

Clear ROMMON variable for active RP from XR prompt:

Example:


Router# run nvram_rommonvar RSP_LINK_1G 0

Migrating from RP2 to RP3/RP3-X Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router. Default console speed on RP3 and RP3-X is set as 115200.

  • IOS XR software version requirement:

    • When migrating to RP3 card, the router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 6.5.15 or later version.

    • When migrating to RP3-X card, the router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 7.6.2 or later version.

    If your router is running a 32-bit IOS XR release, you will need to migrate to 64-bit XR. Refer to Migration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.


    Note

    RP3 and RP3-X is only supported with 64-bit IOS XR software releases.

  • The router must have two RP2 cards (active and standby) up and running.

  • First and second generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RP3/RP3-X.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RP0 and RP1 are in Ready State.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RP0/CPU0(A)  0/RP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RP0/CPU0(P)  0/RP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)

Step 2

Shutdown the standby RP2 card (slot 1) using the admin hw-module shutdown location 0/RP1 command.

Step 3

Remove the standby RP2 card. When RP2 is removed, an alarm is generated indicating that the redundancy is lost. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 4

Insert and boot RP3/RP3-X in slot 1.

Step 5

Verify both the RPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command.

Example:

Router#show platform

0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 6

Verify RP2 in slot 0 and RP3/RP3-X in slot 1 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is in Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Step 7

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RP2 to RP3/RP3-X disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RPs.

Step 8

From active RP, verify that both RPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other. In Cisco IOS XR 64 bits, the SNMP files are located under config:/snmp directory.

Example:

Step 9

Perform redundancy switchover from active RP2 to standby RP3/RP3-X. This results in RP3/RP3-X (slot 1) becoming active RP and RP2 (slot 0) becoming standby RP.

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Step 10

Verify that both the RPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command

Example:

0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 11

Verify RP3/RP3-X in slot 1 and RP2 in slot 0 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Example:


Router# show redundancy  
Fri Jul 12 20:51:19.365 UTC
    Active Node    Standby Node
    -----------    ------------
     0/RP1/CPU0    0/RP0/CPU0(Node Ready, NSR:Ready)

Step 12

Remove standby RP2 (slot 0). Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 13

Insert and boot RP3/RP3-X (slot 0). After booting, RP3/RP3-X (slot 0) becomes standby RP. Verify using the show platform command.

Example:

0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 14

Repeat Step 6, Step 7 and Step 8.

Step 15

(Optional) Perform FPD upgrade on RP3/RP3-X. Use these commands:

Note

 

An FPD upgrade can be performed after the FCs and LCs are added to the system.

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RP0 fpd 
sysadmin-vm:0_RP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RP1 fpd

Step 16

(Optional) Reload the system once FPDs are upgraded using the admin hw-module location all reload command.

Migrating from RP3 to RP3-X Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router. Default console speed on RP3-X is set as 115200.

  • The router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 7.6.2 or later version.


    Note

    RP3 and RP3-X is only supported with 64-bit IOS XR software releases.

  • The router must have two RP3 cards (active and standby) up and running.

  • First and second generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RP3-X.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RP0 and RP1 are in Ready State.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RP0/CPU0(A)  0/RP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RP0/CPU0(P)  0/RP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)

Step 2

Shutdown the standby RP3 card (slot 1) using the admin hw-module shutdown location 0/RP1 command.

Step 3

Remove the standby RP3 card. When RP3 is removed, an alarm is generated indicating that the redundancy is lost. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 4

Insert RP3-X in slot 1 and allow RP3-X to bootup.

Step 5

Verify both the RPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command.

Example:

Router#show platform

Node              Type                       State           Config state

0/FC3             A99-SFC2                   OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC4             A99-SFC2                   OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC5             A99-SFC2                   OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC6             A99-SFC2                   OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT1             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT2             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 6

Verify RP3 in slot 0 and RP3-X in slot 1 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is in Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Step 7

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RP3 to RP3-X disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RPs.

Step 8

From active RP, verify that both RPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other. In Cisco IOS XR 64 bits, the SNMP files are located under config:/snmp directory.

Example:


dir config:/snmp

Directory of /misc/config/snmp
203 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5145 May 12 13:54 ifindex-table
571 -rwxr-xr-x. 1   76 May  9 23:38 snmp_persist
264 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5130 May 11 23:13 ifindex-table-v2

#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP1/cpu0

Step 9

Perform redundancy switchover from active RP3 to standby RP3-X. This results in RP3-X (slot 1) becoming active RP and RP3 (slot 0) becoming standby RP.

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Step 10

Verify that both the RPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command

Example:

0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 11

Verify RP3-X in slot 1 and RP3 in slot 0 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Example:


Router# show redundancy  
Fri Jul 12 20:51:19.365 UTC
    Active Node    Standby Node
    -----------    ------------
     0/RP1/CPU0    0/RP0/CPU0(Node Ready, NSR:Ready)

Step 12

Remove standby RP3 (slot 0). Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 13

Insert and boot RP3-X (slot 0). After booting, RP3-X (slot 0) becomes standby RP. Verify using the show platform command.

Example:

0/PT3             A9K-AC-PEM-V2              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 14

Repeat Step 6, Step 7 and Step 8.

Step 15

(Optional) Perform FPD upgrade on RP3-X. Use these commands:

Note

 

An FPD upgrade can be performed after the FCs and LCs are added to the system.

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RP0 fpd 
sysadmin-vm:0_RP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RP1 fpd

Step 16

(Optional) Reload the system once FPDs are upgraded using the admin hw-module location all reload command.

Migrating from RSP440 to RSP880 or RSP880-LT Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router.

  • The router must be running Cisco IOS XR software release 5.3.2 or later version to support RSP880.

  • The router must be running Cisco IOS XR software release 6.2.2 or later version to support RSP880-LT.

  • The router must have two RSP440 cards (active and standby) up and running.

  • Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Card (first generation) must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RSP880.

  • Cisco ASR 9000 High Density 100GE Ethernet line cards (third generation) must be power down or temporarily removed before starting the migration procedure. Use the hw-module power disable location node-id command in admin-config mode to power down the LC.

Procedure

Step 1

Use show redundancy summary command to identify the active and standby RSPs.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
Wed Jun 17 11:18:51.391 PST 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RSP0/CPU0(A) 0/RSP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RSP0/CPU0(P) 0/RSP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready) 
Make sure RSP1 is the active RSP card. If not, then use redundancy switchover command to perform redundancy switchover from RSP0 to RSP1, and make RSP1 as active RSP.

Step 2

Remove the standby RSP440 (RSP0) and insert RSP880 in slot 0. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 3

Connect to RSP880 console port and type CTRL+C to break into ROMMON.

Step 4

From the ROMMON prompt, set ROMMON variable to activate 1GE mode for peer RSP communication.

Example:

ROMMON prompt on RSP880 (A) 

rommon B1> RSP_LINK_1G=1 
rommon B1> sync

Example:

ROMMON prompt on RSP880-LT

rommon B1> RSP_LINK_1G=1 
rommon B1> ALDRIN_VERSION_DISABLE=1
rommon B1> RSP4L_ALDRIN_1G=1
rommon B1> sync

Step 5

Verify that config register is set correctly in ROMMON.

Example:


rommon B1> confreg

Step 6

Reset RSP880 card. Now the RSP880 becomes the standby RSP in slot 0 and synchronizes configuration from active RSP440 in slot 1.

Example:


rommon B1> reset –h

Note

 
The RSP880 reloads and the user is disconnected from ROMMON automatically.

Step 7

Wait until standby node reaches NSR-ready state and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Example:


Router# show redundancy 
Tue Nov 18 07:51:47.098 EDT 
Redundancy information for node 0/RSP0/CPU0: 
========================================== 
Node 0/RSP1/CPU0 is in ACTIVE role 
Node Redundancy Partner (0/RSP0/CPU0) is in STANDBY role 
Standby node in 0/RSP0/CPU0 is ready 
Standby node in 0/RSP0/CPU0 is NSR- ready 
Node 0/RSP1/CPU0 is in process group PRIMARY role 
Process Redundancy Partner (0/RSP0/CPU0) is in BACKUP role 
Backup node in 0/RSP0/CPU0 is ready 
Backup node in 0/RSP0/CPU0 is NSR-ready

mcast-routing     0/RSP1/CPU0  0/RSP0/CPU0  Ready 
v6-routing        0/RSP1/CPU0  0/RSP0/CPU0

Step 8

From the active RSP, verify that both RSPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other:

Example:


 #more disk0:snmp/ifindex-table loc 0/rsp0/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/ifindex-table loc 0/rsp1/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/snmp_persist loc 0/rsp0/cpu0 
 #more disk0:snmp/snmp_persist loc 0/rsp1/cpu0

Step 9

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RSP440 to RSP880 disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RSP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RSPs.

Step 10

Perform redundancy switchover from active RSP440 (slot 1) to standby RSP880 in (slot 0)

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Step 11

Remove RSP440 from slot 1. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 12

Insert and boot RSP880. After booting, the RSP 880 becomes standby RSP. Do not set the ROMMON variable.

Step 13

Repeat Step 7, Step 8 and Step 9.

Step 14

(Optional) Perform FPD upgrade on the RSP880. Use these commands:

Example:


Router# (admin) upgrade hw-module fpd all location 0/rsp0/cpu0 
Router# (admin) upgrade hw-module fpd all location 0/rsp1/cpu0

Step 15

Clear ROMMON variable for active RSP from XR prompt:

Example:


Router# run nvram_rommonvar RSP_LINK_1G 0

Migrating from A99-RSP to RSP880-LT Card (ASR 9906 Router)

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router.

  • The router must be running Cisco IOS XR software release 6.3.2 or later version.

  • The router must have two A99-RSP cards (active and standby) up and running.

  • Set the MISMATCH_RP_ENABLED ROMMON variable to 1:

    1. Connect to the A99-RSP console port and press CTRL+C to break into ROMMON.

    2. From the ROMMON prompt on the A99-RSP, set the ROMMON variable to allow mismatched RSP: 

      rommon B1> MISMATCH_RP_ENABLED=1

Procedure

Step 1

Enter the show redundancy summary command to identify the active and standby RSPs.

Example:

Router# show redundancy summary 
Wed Jun 17 11:18:51.391 PST 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RSP1/CPU0(A) 0/RSP0/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RSP1/CPU0(P) 0/RSP0/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)

Step 2

Remove the standby A99-RSP from slot 0 and insert the RSP880-LT. Follow the procedure in Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 3

Wait until the standby node reaches NSR-ready state and the status of all groups is in Ready state. Enter the show redundancy command to verify.

Example:

Router# show redundancy 
Wed Jun 17 11:18:53.098 PST

. . .
The RSP880-LT in slot 0 becomes the active RSP.

Step 5

Remove the RSPS-4 from slot 1 and insert the RSP880-LT. Follow the procedure in Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

After booting, the RSP880-LT is slot 1 becomes the standby RSP.

Step 6

Enter the show redundancy and show platform commands to confirm the RSPs have synchronized and are in the correct state.

Migrating from A99-RSP/RSP880/RSP880-LT to RSP5/RSP5-X Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router. Default console speed on RSP5 and RSP5-X is set as 115200.

  • IOS XR software version requirement:

    • When migrating to RSP5 card, the router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 6.5.15 or later version.

    • When migrating to RSP5-X card, the router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 7.6.2 or later version.

    If your router is running a 32-bit IOS XR release, you will need to migrate to 64-bit XR. Refer to Migration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.


    Note

    RSP5 and RSP5-X are only supported with 64-bit IOS XR software releases.

  • The router must have two A99-RSP/RSP880/RSP880-LT cards (active and standby) up and running. In this section, RSP refers to A99-RSP/RSP880/RSP880-LT in the system.

  • First and second generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RSP5/RSP5-X.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RSP0 and RSP1 are in Ready State.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RSP0/CPU0(A)  0/RSP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RSP1/CPU0(P)  0/RSP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)

Step 2

Shutdown the standby RSP card (slot 1) using the admin hw-module shutdown location 0/RSP1 command.

Step 3

Remove the standby RSP card (slot 1). When RSP is removed, an alarm is generated indicating that the redundancy is lost. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 4

Insert and boot RSP5/RSP5-X in slot 1.

Step 5

Verify both the RSPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command.

Example:

Router#show platform
Node              Type                       State             Config state
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0/FT1             ASR-9910-FAN               OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/1/CPU0          A9K-8X100GE-TR            IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FC0             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC1             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC2             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC3             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC4             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT0             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT1             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 6

Verify RSP in slot 0 and RSP5/RSP5-X in slot 1 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Step 7

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RSP to RSP5/RSP5-X disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RSP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RSPs.

Step 8

From active RP, verify that both RPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other. In Cisco IOS XR 64 bits, the SNMP files are located under config:/snmp directory.

Example:


dir config:/snmp

Directory of /misc/config/snmp
203 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5145 May 12 13:54 ifindex-table
571 -rwxr-xr-x. 1   76 May  9 23:38 snmp_persist
264 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5130 May 11 23:13 ifindex-table-v2

#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table location 0/RP1/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/snmp_persist location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/snmp_persist location 0/RP1/cpu0
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP1/cpu0

Step 9

Perform redundancy switchover from active RSP to standby RSP5/RSP5-X. This results in RSP5/RSP5-X (slot 1) becoming active RSP and RSP (slot 0) becoming standby RP.

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Step 10

Verify that both the RSPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command

Example:


Router# show platform
Node              Type                       State             Config state
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0/FT0             ASR-9910-FAN               OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT1             ASR-9910-FAN               OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/1/CPU0          A9K-8X100GE-TR             IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FC0             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC1             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC2             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC3             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC4             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT0             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT1             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 11

Verify RSP5/RSP5-X in slot 1 and RSP in slot 0 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Example:


Router# show redundancy  
Fri Jul 12 20:51:19.365 UTC
    Active Node    Standby Node
    -----------    ------------
     0/RSP1/CPU0    0/RSP0/CPU0(Node Ready, NSR:Ready)

Step 12

Remove standby RSP (slot 0). Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 13

Insert and boot RSP5/RSP5-X (slot 0). After booting, the RSP5/RSP5-X becomes standby RSP.

Example:


Router# show platform
Node              Type                       State             Config state
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0/RSP0/CPU0       A9K-RSP5-TR(Standby)      IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/RSP1/CPU0       A9K-RSP5-TR(Active)       IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FT0             ASR-9910-FAN              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT1             ASR-9910-FAN              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/1/CPU0          A9K-8X100GE-TR            IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FC0             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC1             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC2             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC3             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC4             A99-SFC-S                 OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT0             A9K-AC-PEM-V3             OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT1             A9K-AC-PEM-V3             OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 14

Repeat Step 6, Step 7 and Step 8.

Step 15

(Optional) Perform FPD upgrade on the RSP5/RSP5-X. Use these commands:

Note

 

An FPD upgrade can be performed after all the FCs/LCs are added to the system.

Example:


sysadmin-vm:0_RSP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RSP0 fpd 
sysadmin-vm:0_RSP1# upgrade hw-module location 0/RSP1 fpd

Step 16

(Optional) Reload the system once FPDs are upgraded using the admin hw-module location all reload command.

Migrating from RSP5 to RSP5-X Card

Before you begin:

  • You must have console access to the router. Default console speed on RSP5-X is set as 115200.

  • The router must be running Cisco 64-bit IOS XR software release 7.6.2 or later version.


    Note
    RSP5 and RSP5-X is only supported with 64-bit IOS XR software releases.

  • The router must have two RSP5 cards (active and standby) up and running. In this section, RSP refers to RSP5 in the system.

  • First and second generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards must be removed from the chassis as they are incompatible with RSP5-X.

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show redundancy summary command to verify that the RSP0 and RSP1 are in Ready State.

Example:


Router# show redundancy summary 
 
Active/Primary Standby/Backup 
-------------- -------------- 
0/RSP0/CPU0(A)  0/RSP1/CPU0(S) (Node Ready, NSR: Ready) 
0/RSP1/CPU0(P)  0/RSP1/CPU0(B) (Proc Group Ready, NSR: Ready)

Step 2

Shutdown the standby RSP card (slot 1) using the admin hw-module shutdown location 0/RSP1 command.

Step 3

Remove the standby RSP card (slot 1). When RSP is removed, an alarm is generated indicating that the redundancy is lost. Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 4

Insert RSP5-X in slot 1 and allow RSP5-X to bootup.

Step 5

Verify both the RSPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command.

Example:

Router#show platform
Node              Type                       State             Config state
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0/FT0             ASR-9910-FAN               OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FT1             ASR-9910-FAN               OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/1/CPU0          A9K-8X100GE-TR             IOS XR RUN        NSHUT
0/FC0             A99-SFC-S                  OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC1             A99-SFC-S                  OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC2             A99-SFC-S                  OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC3             A99-SFC-S                  OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/FC4             A99-SFC-S                  OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT0             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT
0/PT1             A9K-AC-PEM-V3              OPERATIONAL       NSHUT

Step 6

Verify RSP in slot 0 and RSP5-X in slot 1 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Step 7

Manually copy Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scripts from RSP5 to RSP5-X disks if applicable.

Note

 
The EEM scripts are files located on RSP’s hard disk. These files are not automatically synced between Active and Standby RSPs.

Step 8

From active RP, verify that both RPs have synchronized the SNMP engine ID and SNMP ifindex-table between each other. In Cisco IOS XR 64 bits, the SNMP files are located under config:/snmp directory.

Example:


dir config:/snmp

Directory of /misc/config/snmp
203 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5145 May 12 13:54 ifindex-table
571 -rwxr-xr-x. 1   76 May  9 23:38 snmp_persist
264 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 5130 May 11 23:13 ifindex-table-v2

#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table location 0/RP1/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/snmp_persist location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/snmp_persist location 0/RP1/cpu0
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP0/cpu0 
#more config:/snmp/ifindex-table-v2 location 0/RP1/cpu0

Step 9

Perform redundancy switchover from active RSP5 to standby RSP5-X. This results in RSP5-X (slot 1) becoming active RSP and RSP5 (slot 0) becoming standby RSP.

Example:


Router# redundancy switchover

Step 10

Verify that both the RSPs are in IOS XR RUN state using the show platform command

Example:


Router# show platform
Node              Type                       State             Config state

Step 11

Verify RSP5-X in slot 1 and RSP5 in slot 0 reach full synchronization (NSR-ready state) and status of ALL the groups is Ready state. Use show redundancy command to verify the same.

Example:


Router# show redundancy  
Fri Jul 12 20:51:19.365 UTC
    Active Node    Standby Node
    -----------    ------------
     0/RSP1/CPU0    0/RSP0/CPU0(Node Ready, NSR:Ready)

Step 12

Remove standby RSP5 (slot 0). Follow the procedure explained in the topic Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis.

Step 13

Insert and boot RSP5-X (slot 0). After booting, the RSP5-X becomes standby RSP.
