[c-nsp] 6506 SUP2/MSFC2 Native IOS upgrade issue

I had a similar issue a few revisions ago with booting off of the disk.  I
ended up upgrading the firmware of the Sup2.  Were you booting off of the
disk prior to this upgrade - if not, I would recommend trying to boot your
old image from the disk and see if you get the same results.

- Greetings all, trying to upgrade the IOS on a SUP2/MSFC2 which is 
already in native move at 12.1(27b)E and trying to upgrade to 12.2.18 
but I keep seeing similar errors to this:

- I uploaded the image to disk0: and set the following:

boot system flash disk0:s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF9.bin

- Upon reboot it won't boot from the disk, it shows:

System Bootstrap, Version 7.1(1)
Copyright (c) 1994-2001 by cisco Systems, Inc.
c6k_sup2 processor with 131072 Kbytes of main memory

Autoboot: failed, BOOT string is empty
rommon 1 > boot disk0:
string is disk0:s222-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF9.bin

- so I get into rommon and i force it to boot from disk0: and it appears 
to load up just fine but then it just crashes and I see:

Possibly a cheaper option is the 7600 with SIP-200 and FE SPAs or
SIP-400/SIP-600 with FE or GE SPAs where shaping is needed.

>From memory there is some level of oversubscription with the SIP's
also but I don't recall finding any clear documentation on this.

Use standard FE/GE blades where you don't need advanced QoS - the
SIPs & SPAs are just too damn expensive!

Also bear in mind that if you go up to the SIP-600, Sup/RSP720 is
Required.

Regards,
Brad

That's pretty much what the unit I posted about earlier today was doing. 
For the heck of it, could you post output from the following two commands?

sh bootvar
rem com sw sh bootvar

The crashing part is different.  Are you sure you have enough RAM on both 
the switch and msfc for the new code?

To start with you have to upgrade to 256MB of RAM on both the SP and RP to
support 12.2(18)SXF on the Sup2.

We use both, replacing the 2970's, and so far they work great, perform 
great, and have been rock solid.

We hit the same bug on this, and it sound like you are in the same 
situation.  It's unfortunately because 12.1(19) was a very long lived 
code for us.  We've had to upgrade about 4 times since due to SNMP, BGP, 
and Netflow bugs.. bahhhh

The ES20 has most of the same feature set as the SIP-400, and if  
Ethernet is really
what you want, it's a cheaper option.   The ES20 w/better DFC is  
$60k.  The SIP-400
itself is $35k and then each 2-port GigE is $10k.  You can only put 4  
GigE ports in a
single SIP-400 before it may be oversubscribed.  Whether it's  
oversubscribed depends on
your packet size since it's PPS limited, not backplane bandwidth  
limited.

Worst case scenario you need 3 SIP-400s with 5 2xGE SPAs, which is  
$155,000.  Versus
20 line-rate GigE ports that costs $60k, or even with the IPV6/MPLS  
VPN license is
$100k...

The SIP/SPA GigE pricing is a lot, I think that's why they did the  
ES20 for those who
need more GigE with more features.
