[c-nsp] 4GE-SFP-LC ROMMON upgrade in IOS-XR

[Lee Starnes]

Hi All,

I have an upgrade problem that there seems to be no fix for. Has anyone run
into this before and if so, how do you go about getting it to upgrade? Our
problem is this. We need to install some 4GE-SFC-LC cards in an IOS-XR
chassis. They won't work unless they have 1G of ram. You can't get the card
to see more than 512M of ram without doing a ROMMON upgrade (Guess my cards
have an older version). IOS-XR won't bring the cards online to be able to do
the ROMMON upgrade because not enough ram, but you can't get enough ram in
it without upgrading ROMMON.

We are running V 4.0.1 of XR currently with both PRPs running 1.24 ROMMON.
Is there any way to get around this issue.

I did several searches for upgrading ROMMON on LCs for XR but could not find
anything that mentioned this kind of issue.

Thanks,

-Lee
