[c-nsp] DRAM for 12.2(18)SXF4

[John Neiberger]

I'm referring to the MSFC2. I opened a TAC case on this when I first
began thinking about doing the upgrade because there was some
inconsistent information on CCO. The TAC engineer gave me the impression
that a SUP2/MSFC2 running native IOS uses the MSFC2 DRAM, not the SUP2
DRAM, and that I should be most concerned about how much MSFC2 DRAM I
have. I have no idea how to tell one from the other. If I do a "show
version", is the value being reported the SUP DRAM or MSFC2 DRAM?

Regardless, I'm fairly certain that I have 256MB of DRAM on the SUP2
and 256MB on the MSFC2. The output of "show mem" indicates that I have
about 150MB free at the moment but, again, I don't know if that is SUP2
memory or MSFC2 memory being reported.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

That's good, but are you talking about the DRAM on the sup, or on the
MSFC?  You need 256 on the Sup to run any version of 12.2SX, I
believe.
I don't think anyone has seen a need for more than 256 on the sup, no
matter what features they've been running, or how many views of the
full
table they're taking.  But, 256 on the MSFC may be getting pretty
borderline.

It's the sup2/msfc2. I just talked to my manager about it and he
thinks
we might as well upgrade the DRAM anyway just to future-proof us. Even
if this version doesn't require more than 256MB, it's always possible
that another variation a year from now might.

Are you talking about sup memory, or MSFC memory?  Is it the
sup2/msfc2
platform?

I see that Cisco has now updated IOS Upgrade Planner for this release.
It used to show that 512MB of RAM and 128MB of flash were required. It
now shows 256MB RAM and 32MB flash. I was planning on getting 512MB of
DRAM but now that they've updated the requirements I'm not so sure. I
already have 256MB of DRAM. We're running 12.1E and I have 159MB free.
Do you think I would be fine just staying at 256MB? It sure seems like
I
don't need to go to 512MB now but I don't want to run low.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
John
