Upgrading a System That Contains Two SRP Modules

In a system that contains two SRP modules, you can upgrade the NVS
cards on the SRP modules without powering down the system.

Warning: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your hand
into an open slot or the backplane when the E-series router is on. Remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is
connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.

Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
E-series router’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from
damage by electrostatic discharge.

To upgrade the NVS cards on the SRP modules in a system that contains
two SRP modules:

1

Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your
E-series router.

2

Halt the redundant SRP module.

host1#halt standby

3

Remove the redundant SRP module from the chassis.

4

Replace the NVS card on this SRP module (see

Replacing an NVS

Card

, later in this chapter).

5

Reinsert the SRP module into the chassis.

6

When this SRP module is available, synchronize the SRP modules.

host1#synchronize

7

When the SRP modules are synchronized, reboot the SRP module
that you upgraded.

host1#reload slot 7

8

When this SRP module is available, synchronize the SRP modules.

host1#synchronize

9

When the SRP modules are synchronized, force the redundant SRP
module to take over from the primary SRP module.

host1#srp switch

10

Immediately remove the former primary SRP module.

11

Repeat steps

for the former primary SRP module.
