Does Software Management support software upgrades on dual RSP-based systems?
A. Software Management updates the software on the master RSP processor by copying the software image file to the master RSP Flash card (bootflash: slot0: slot1:) and updating the config file on the master RSP. Software Management cannot do a complete job of upgrading the software on the slave RSP processor. Software Management can only copy the software image file to the slave RSP processor, but it cannot update the config file on that processor. Users will have to run a separate Distribute Images job to copy the software image file to the slave RSP processor. Because Software Management cannot update the config file on the slave RSP processor, users must select “Don’t touch config file” and select the “no reboot” option in the job created for upgrading software on the slave RSP processor.
