[c-nsp] ASR1006 Upgrade

[Chuck Church]

It depends on how long your maintenance window is.  Reloading the whole
chassis is vastly easier, but you'll be down about 5 minutes I'm guessing.
ISSU is much less.  Also, if you've never done ISSU, and you've got a
maintenance window with a lot of time, this might be the time to try the
ISSU just to see how it's done, and what to look out for.  There are lots of
tricks and gotchas.  Easier to learn something when you're not under
pressure to have something fixed with minimal downtime.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for your comments. 

One more question. Which procedure do you recommend to upgrade the device,
reload or issu? The upgrade will be made in a maintenace window.

Thanks!

disregard - I thought I read IOS-XR - yours is IOS-XE - it can be done the
way you suggest.

Summary of Package ManagementThe general procedure for adding optional
packages, upgrading a package or package set, or downgrading packages on the
router is as follows: Copy the package file or files to a local storage
device or file server. Add the package or packages on the router using the
command install add. Activate the package or packages on the router using
the install activate command. Commit the current set of packages using the
install commit command.

Dear Colleagues,



I'm planning upgrade my ASR1006. I never upgrade this model of router before
and I have a doubt. I have found the ISSU procedure to upgrade the device
but my question is if I can simply put the following command in the
configuration:



boot system flash bootflash:NAME-OF-NEW-RELEASE



and reload the device.





The ASR1006 has two ESP-20 and two RP2. In the bootflash and stby-bootflash,
I have the old image of the IOS XE and the new image of the IOS XE.



Thanks for your support.



Best regards,

Jordi
