Software Requirement

A version of IOS XR release based on your requirement as outlined in the table in Supported Hardware topic must run on the system before migrating to IOS XR 64 bit.

  1. Upgrade the system to the minimum IOS XR release identified or higher.

  2. Migrate from IOS XR release to any IOS XR 64 bit release.

Prepare System for Migration

Prepare the system before migrating to IOS XR 64-bit to enable easy operation.

Before you begin

Before you proceed, ensure that you have completed these pre-requisites:

  • Connect port: connect console port to the terminal server. After migration, the console port will be connected the IOS XR 64-bit plane. If necessary, the AUX port can be used to connect to the management plane.

  • Backup data: back up data on the router, System Admin plane, and XR plane configurations to an external server. All data drives except for harddiskb:/ drive are formatted during migration. The harddiskb:/ drive, also known as eusb:/ drive is resized. All available data drives can be viewed using the show media command.

  • Configure processor: Configure RSP4/RP2 to reach the external server to download IOS XR 64-bit ISO image.

Procedure

Step 1

Upgrade the ASR 9000 router to a minimum version as listed in table Supported Hardware:

  1. For every available line card in the system, identify the list of 64-bit releases from the Supported Hardware table, and select the latest release.

    Example:

    In the following specification, the minimum required release is 6.3.2.

    RP/LC

    Release

    A99-RP2-SE

    6.1.3

    A99-SFC2

    6.1.3

    A9K-400GE-DWDM-TR

    6.2.1

    A9K-24X10GE-1G-TR

    6.3.2

  2. Upgrade to IOS XR image as listed in table Supported Hardware. 

    RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# admin install add source <path-to-image>/asr9k-mini-px.pie-6.1.3 asr9k-fpd-px-6.1.3 activate prompt-level none synchronous

    For more information about upgrading the version, see Upgrading and Managing Software on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Configuration Guide.

  3. Verify that the packages are active. 

    RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# show install active summary
Sun Oct 30 09:05:05.333 UTC
Default Profile:
  SDRs:
    Owner
  Active Packages:
    disk0:asr9k-mini-px-6.1.3
    disk0:asr9k-fpd-px-6.1.3

  4. Commit the upgrade. 

    RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# admin install commit
Step 2

Upgrade FPD on RSP4, RP2, LC, and FC2 with unified FPDs:

Important 

FPD upgrade of new and supported hardware that will be used in IOS XR 64-bit after migration must be done in IOS XR. 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios#admin upgrade hw-module fpd all location all
Note 
During the upgrade of FPDs:

  • Do not reload the router or power cycle the router.

  • Do not do an online insertion and removal (OIR) of RP2, RSP4, LC, and FC2 cards.

  • Check the console logs or syslogs to monitor the progress of the FPD upgrade. If you observe a failure in the logs, stop the upgrade process and contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 3

Setup a user with root-lr privileges only in the XR plane.

XR Plane:

username root
group root-lr
password <password>
!
Note 

In IOS XR 64-bit, the root-system group exists only in the System Admin plane, and not in the XR plane. Instead, root-lr group with equal privileges must be setup in the XR plane.

Step 4

Run script resize_eusb to clean up harddisk:/, harddiskb:/, and back up System Admin and XR plane config to harddiskb:/.

Note 

When searching for file in XR shell using ls –ltr in /pkg/bin for migrate_to_eXR or resize_eusb, use the complete file name. For example, ls –ltr pkg/bin/resize_eusb or ls –ltr pkg/bin/migrate_to_eXR. Wild card search is not supported in shell. 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# run /pkg/bin/resize_eusb

IOS XR 64 bit.
#exit
Step 5

Copy the converted IOS XR 64-bit configuration to harddiskb:/ drive.

For IOS XR 64-bit to load XR plane configuration automatically during boot up, copy IOS XR to IOS XR 64-bit converted configuration to harddiskb:/cXR_xr_plane_converted_eXR.cfg.

For IOS XR 64-bit to load System Admin plane configuration automatically during boot up, copy IOS XR to IOS XR 64-bit converted configuration to harddiskb:/cXR_admin_plane_converted_eXR.cfg.

Step 6

To create crypto keys automatically when k9sec rpm is installed, create harddiskb:/crypto_auto_key_gen.txt. In this text file, provide the crypto key CLI to be executed post migration. For example, crypto key generate rsa 2048.

What to do next

Ensure all supported RSPs, RPs, FCs, and LCs are present so that the new OS takes effect on all of the cards post migration.

For the list of supported IOS XR 64-bit Product ID (PID), see Supported Hardware.

After the router is prepared for migration, run the migration script to migrate to IOS XR 64-bit OS.

Migrate to IOS XR 64-Bit OS

Migration to IOS XR 64 bit is performed using a script migrate_to_eXR available in /pkg/bin/. The migration script performs these tasks:

  • Copies GRUB files to /harddiskb:/efi/boot/

  • Sets the boot mode on active RSP/RP to boot from harddiskb:/

  • Sets the boot mode on standby RSP /RP to boot from active RSP/RP

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you have completed Prepare System for Migration.

  • Install the mandatory FPD PIE.

  • While migrating, you might face migration abortion due to idle timeout. To avoid this, execute the command line console exec-timeout 0 in config mode on the router: 

    RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#config
Wed Apr  1 10:06:38.592 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#line console exec-timeout 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#commit
Wed Apr  1 10:06:51.281 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#end
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#

Note

From IOS XR release 6.1.3, the golden ISO (GISO) migration tar file must be built to migrate from IOS XR to IOS XR 64 bit. For more information about building the GISO migration tar file, see Customize Installation using GISO chapter in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Flexible Packaging Configuration Guide.

Migrate Using eUSB Boot

To migrate using the 64-bit image stored in eUSB:

Procedure

Step 1

Copy the IOS XR 64-bit tar image to harddisk:/ drive. The tar image must be copied only to harddisk:/ drive. This tar image can be mini or GISO tar file. The following example shows a mini tar file copied to harddisk:/ drive. The mini tar file is posted on CCO, and GISO tar file must be created based on required RPMS/SMU. 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios# copy <image-location>/asr9k-mini-x64-migrate_to_eXR.tar6.1.3 harddisk:/asr9k-mini-x64-migrate_to_eXR.tar-6.1.3
Step 2

Run the migration script.

Note 
Running the script with –r parameter will reload the router. Remove this parameter to reload manually.

Static Settings

System will boot with IOS XR 64-bit followed by automatic reload, and will boot from disk. The standby RSP and RP, if present, will boot from active RSP and RP.

What to do next

Set username and password when the system prompts on the XR console. The user is also created on System Admin plane.

Verify Migration

After running the migration script, verify that the system migrated to IOS XR 64 bit successfully.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have completed Prepare System for Migration and Migrate to IOS XR 64-Bit OS.

Procedure

Step 1

Run the show platform command to verify that RSP4, RP2, LC, and FC2 are in IOS XR RUN or OPERATIONAL state.

An IOS XR RUN or OPERATIONAL state indicates that the System Admin and XR planes are booted up. The system is ready for IOS XR 64-bit FPD upgrades and configuration. If an RSP4, RP2, FC2, or LC is not displayed, contact Cisco Technical assistance Center.

A NEED UPGD status indicates that an FPD upgrade of the card is required.

Step 3

Run the upgrade hw-module location all fpd all command to upgrade the FPD from XR or System Admin plane. 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios#upgrade hw-module location all fpd all
Note 
During the upgrade of FPDs:

  • Do not reload the router or power cycle the router.

  • Do not do an online insertion and removal (OIR) of RP2, RSP4, LC, and FC2 cards.

  • Check the console logs or syslogs to monitor the progress of the FPD upgrade. If you observe a failure in the logs, stop the upgrade process and contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 4

Reload the router to upgrade with IOS XR 64-bit FPD. 


sysadmin-vm:0_RSP0# hw-module location all reload
Sun Oct  30 13:05:56.202 UTC
Reload hardware module ? [no,yes]  yes
Step 5

Verify that the status of all FPDs is CURRENT.
