Upgrading FPD on the Cisco IOS XR Software

Upgrading FPD on the Cisco IOS XR Software

In general terms, field-programmable devices (FPDs) are hardware devices implemented on router cards that support separate software upgrades. A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of programmable memory device that exists on most hardware components of the router. The term FPD has been introduced to collectively and generically describe any type of programmable hardware device on SIPs and shared port adapters (SPAs), including FPGAs and the read-only memory monitor (ROMMON). Cisco IOS XR software provides the Cisco FPD upgrade feature to manage the upgrade of FPD images on SIPs and SPAs.

This chapter describes the information that you must know to verify image versions and to perform an upgrade for SPA or SIP FPD images when incompatibilities arise.

For complete descriptions of the FPD commands listed in this module, see Related Documents. To locate documentation for other commands that might appear in the course of performing a configuration task, search online in Cisco IOS XR Commands Master List for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Prerequisites for FPD Image Upgrades

Before upgrading the FPD on your router you must install and activate the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router-fpd.pie. For information about performing this task, see the Upgrading and Managing the Cisco IOS XR Software module in Cisco IOS XR System Management Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Overview of FPD Image Upgrade Support

An FPD image is used to upgrade the software on an FPD. Whenever a Cisco IOS XR Software image is released that supports SIPs and SPAs, a companion SIP and SPA FPD image is bundled with the Cisco IOS XR software release. However , the FPD image is not automatically upgraded. You must manually upgrade the FPD image running on the SPA or SIP when you upgrade the Cisco IOS XR software image.

FPD versions must be compatible with the Cisco IOS XR software that is running on the router; if an incompatibility exists between an FPD version and the Cisco IOS XR software, the device with the FPGA may not operate properly until the incompatibility is resolved. An FPGA incompatibility on a SPA does not necessarily affect the running of the SPA interfaces; an FPD incompatibility on a SIP disables all interfaces for all SPAs in the SIP until the incompatibility is addressed.

Use the show hw-module fpd command to determine if an FPD upgrade is required. A value of ‘Yes’ in the Upg/Dng? (upgrade/downgrade) column indicates that an upgrade or downgrade is required.

The Cisco XR 12000 Series Router supports upgrades for FPGA devices on its SIPs and SPAs. ROMMON, MBUS ROM and FabLoader are not part of an FPD image package that corresponds to a Cisco IOS XR software image. SIPs and SPAs support manual upgrades for FPGA devices using the Cisco FPD upgrade feature that is further described in this module.

How to Upgrade FPD Images

You must determine if an FPD image upgrade is needed using the show hw-module fpd command and perform the upgrade, if needed, under the following circumstances:


  • You migrate the software to a later Cisco IOS XR software release.
  • You swap SPAs or SIPs from a system running a different Cisco IOS XR software release.
  • You insert a new SPA or SIP.

In the event that there is an FPD incompatibility with your card, you may receive an error message. If you upgrade to a newer version of the Cisco IOS XR software and there is an FPD incompatibility, you receive the following message:

LC/0/1/CPU0:Dec 23 16:33:47.945 : spa_192_jacket_v2[203]: %PLATFORM-UPGRADE_FPD-4-DOWN_REV : spa fpga2 instance 0 is down-rev (V0.6), upgrade to (V1.0). Use the "upgrade hw-module fpd" CLI in admin mode.

If the FPD image on the card is newer then what is required by the currently running Cisco IOS XR software image on the router, you receive the following error message:

LC/0/1/CPU0:Dec 23 16:33:47.955 : spa_192_jacket_v2[203]: %PLATFORM-UPGRADE_FPD-4-UP_REV : spa fpga instance 1 is severely up-rev (V2.1), downgrade to (V1.6). Use the "upgrade hw-module fpd" CLI in admin mode.

You should perform the FPD upgrade procedure if you receive such messages. Cards may not function properly if FPD incompatibilities are not resolved.

Before You Begin

  • Before upgrading the FPD, you must install and activate the c12k-fpd.pie. For information about performing this task, see the Upgrading and Managing Cisco IOS XR Software module.

  • The FPD upgrade procedure is performed while the card is online. At the end of the procedure the card must be reloaded before the FPD upgrade is complete. To automatically reload the card, you can use the reload keyword in the upgrade hw-module fpd command. Alternatively, you can use the hw-module reload command during your next maintenance window. The upgrade procedure is not complete until the card is reloaded.


    Note

    Upgrading the FPD image on a SPA or SIP using the reload keyword temporarily places the card offline at the end of the upgrade procedure, and may interrupt traffic.

  • During the FPD upgrade, you must not do the following:

    • Reload, perform an online insertion and removal (OIR) of a line card (LC), or power down the chassis. Doing so may cause the node to enter an unusable state.

    • Press Ctrl-C if the console appears to hang without any output. Doing so may abort the upgrade.

  • If you are not sure whether a card requires an FPD upgrade, you can install the card and use the

    show hw-module fpd command to determine if the FPD image on the card is compatible with the currently running Cisco IOS XR software release.


SUMMARY STEPS

1.    show hw-module fpd location all

2.    admin

3.    (Optional) show fpd package

4.    upgrade hw-module fpd {all | fpga-type} [force] location [all | node-id] [reload]

5.    exit

6.    (Optional) hw-module {node node-id | subslot subslot-id} reload

7.    show platform


DETAILED STEPS
  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1 show hw-module fpd location all


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# show hw-module fpd location all
 

Displays the current FPD image versions for all cards installed in the router. Use this command to determine if you must upgrade the FPD image on your card.

 
Step 2 admin


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# admin
 

Enters administration EXEC mode.

 
Step 3 show fpd package


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# show fpd package
  		(Optional)

Displays which cards are supported with your current Cisco IOS XR software release, which FPD image you need for each card, and what the minimum hardware requirements are for the various modules. (A minimum hardware requirement version of 0.0 indicates that all hardware can support this FPD image version.)

If there are multiple FPD images for your card, use this command to determine which FPD image to use if you only want to upgrade a specific FPD type.

 
Step 4 upgrade hw-module fpd {all | fpga-type} [force] location [all | node-id] [reload]


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# upgrade hw-module fpd all force location 0/3/1 reload
.
.
.
Successfully upgraded 1 FPD for SPA-2XOC48POS/RPR on location 0/3/1
 

Upgrades all the current FPD images that must be upgraded on the specified card with new images.

Before going on to the next step, wait for confirmation that the FPD upgrade has successfully completed. Status messages similar to the following are displayed to the screen until the FPD upgrade is completed:

FPD upgrade started.
FPD upgrade in progress..
FPD upgrade in progress..
FPD upgrade sent to location xxxx
FPD upgrade sent to location yyyy
FPD upgrade in progress..
FPD upgrade finished for location xxx
FPD upgrade in progress..
FPD upgrade finished for location yyyy
FPD upgrade completed.

The “FPD upgrade in progress.” message is printed every minute. These logs are information logs, and as such, are displayed if the logging console informational command is configured.

Note   

The reload keyword causes the SPA or SIP to be reloaded after the FPD image has been updated, which interrupts traffic transmission. If you do not use the reload keyword, you must manually reload the SPA or SIP as described in 6 before the FPD upgrade is complete.

If Ctrl-C is pressed while the FPD upgrade is in progress, the following warning message is displayed:

FPD upgrade in progress on some hardware, aborting now is not recommended 
as it might cause HW programming failure and result in RMA of the hardware.
Do you want to continue? [Confirm(y/n)]

If you confirm that you want to abort the FPD upgrade procedure, the following message is displayed:

 
FPD upgrade process has been aborted, please check the status 
of the hardware and reissue the upgrade command if required.
Note   

If your card supports multiple FPD images, you can use the show fpd package admin command to determine what specific image to upgrade in the upgrade hw-module fpd command.

 
Step 5 exit


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# exit
 

Exits administration EXEC mode and returns to EXEC mode.

 
Step 6 hw-module {node node-id | subslot subslot-id} reload


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# hw-module subslot 0/3/1 reload

or 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# hw-module node 0/3/cpu0 reload
  		(Optional)

Use the hw-module subslot reload command to reload a SPA and the hw-module node reload command to reload a SIP.

Note   

Only use this command if you do not use the reload keyword in the upgrade hw-module fpd command as described in 4.

 
Step 7 show platform


Example: 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# show platform
 

Verifies that the FPD image on the card has been successfully upgraded by displaying the status of all cards in the system.

 

Configuration Examples for FPD Image Upgrade

The following examples indicates the use of commands associated with the FPD image upgrade procedure.

show hw-module fpd Command Output: Example

Use the show hw-module fpd to display the current version of FPD images on the SPAs, SIPs and other cards installed on your router.

This command can be used to identify information about FPDs on any card. If you enter the location of a line card that is not a SPA, the output displays information about any programmable devices on that line card.

The following example shows how to display FPD compatibility for all modules in the router: 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# show hw-module fpd location all

Module part number.

FPD Description

Description of all FPD images available for the SPA.

Type

Hardware type. Possible types can be:


  • spa—Shared port adapter
  • lc—Line card

Subtype

FPD subtype. These values are used in the upgrade hw-module fpd command to indicate a specific FPD image type to upgrade.

SW Version

FPD software version recommended for the associated module running the current Cisco IOS XR software.

Min Req SW Vers

Minimum required FPD image software version to operate the card. Version 0.0 indicates that a minimum required image was not programmed into the card.

Min Req HW Vers

Minimum required hardware version for the associated FPD image. A minimum hardware requirement of version 0.0 indicates that all hardware can support this FPD image version.


Note

In the show fpd package command output, the “subtype” column shows the FPDs that correspond with each SPA image. To upgrade a specific FPD with the upgrade hw-module fpd command, replace the fpga-type argument with the appropriate FPD from the “subtype” column, as shown in the following example: 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# upgrade hw-module fpd fpga2 location 0/3/1 reload

upgrade hw-module fpd Command Output: Example

Use the upgrade hw-module fpd command to upgrade the FPD image on a SPA, SIP or line card.

The following example shows how to force the update of all FPD images on the SPA at location 0/5/1 as well as an automatic reload of the SPA after the images are updated. 

RP/0/0/CPU0:Router# admin
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Router(admin)# upgrade hw-module fpd all force location 0/5/1 reload
 
% RELOAD WARNING:
  - Option to automatically reload the target module after upgrade was 
    selected. This action will interrupt normal operation of the module. 
  - If necessary, ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to 
    redirect target module's traffic before starting the upgrade operation. 
  - Note that this reload option does not have effect on target module that 
    has been placed in administrative shutdown state. Modules in this state
    will have to be placed back to a 'no shutdown' state manually after the
    upgrade opration to make the changes to take effect.

Troubleshooting Problems with FPD Image Upgrades

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

Power Failure or Removal of a SPA During an FPD Image Upgrade

If the FPD upgrade operation is interrupted by a power failure or the removal of the SPA, it could corrupt the FPD image. This corruption of the FPD image file makes the SPA unusable by the router and the system displays the following messages when it tries to power up the SPA. When it cannot successfully power up the SPA, it places it in the failed state, as shown in the following example:

LC/0/3/CPU0:Feb  4 08:23:16.672 : spa_192_jacket[188]: %L2-SPA-5-OIR_INSERTED : SPA discovered in bay 0
  LC/0/3/CPU0:Feb  4 08:23:23.349 : spa_192_jacket[188]: %L2-SPA-5-OIR_ERROR : SPA (0): An error occurred (0x1002), error recovery action: reset SPA
  LC/0/3/CPU0:Feb  4 08:23:26.431 : spa_192_jacket[188]: %L2-SPA-5-OIR_INSERTED : SPA discovered in bay 0
  LC/0/3/CPU0:Feb  4 08:23:32.593 : spa_192_jacket[188]: %L2-SPA-5-OIR_ERROR : SPA (0): Too many retries, error recovery stopped
  LC/0/3/CPU0:Feb  4 08:23:32.593 : spa_192_jacket[188]: %L2-SPA-5-OIR_ERROR : SPA (0): An error occurred (0x1002), error recovery action: hold SPA in reset

When a SPA is in the failed state, it may not register itself with the FPD upgrade mechanism. In this case, you do not see the SPA listed when you use the show hw-module fpd command. To verify the state of a SPA, use the show hw-module subslot error command and the show hw-module subslot status command.

Performing a SPA FPD Recovery Upgrade

To recover a SPA from the failed state because of a corrupted FPD image, you must manually shut down the SPA. Use the hw-module subslot subslot-id shutdown command in global configuration mode to administratively shutdown the SPA. After the SPA is shut down, you can use the upgrade hw-module fpd command in administration EXEC mode, with the force option, to restart the FPD upgrade process, as shown in the following example: 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# admin
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# upgrade hw-module fpd fpga force location 0/3/0


Note

Performing a SPA FPD recovery upgrade as well as using the force keyword with the upgrade hw-module fpd command works only if the SPA has power. If the SPA is in the SHUT, NPWR state (you can determine the state by checking the output of the show platform command), the upgrade in general, as well as the force keyword,will not work.

Performing a SIP FPD Recovery Upgrade

If a SIP upgrade fails for whatever reason, do not reload the SIP. Try to perform the upgrade procedure again. You can perform the upgrade procedure multiple times, as long as you do not reload the SIP. The FPD upgrade procedure takes several minutes to complete; do not interrupt the procedure. If you reload the SIP when the FPD image is corrupted, the SIP malfunctions and you must contact Cisco technical support for assistance.

To recover a SIP from the failed state because of a corrupted FPD image, you must contact Cisco technical support.

To recover a SIP from the failed state because of a corrupted FPD image, you must turn off the automatic reset of the SIP card. Use the hw-module reset auto disable command in administration configuration mode, as shown in the following example: 

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# hw-module reset auto disable location 0/1/4
