Does SWIM support software upgrades on dual Route Switch Processor (RSP)-based systems?

A. SWIM updates the software on the master RSP. SWIM copies the software image file to the master RSP Flash card (bootflash: slot0: slot1:) and updates the configuration file on the master RSP. SWIM cannot do a complete software-upgrade job on the slave RSP processor. SWIM only can copy the software image file to the slave RSP processor; SWIM cannot update the configuration file on that processor. You need to run a separate Distribute Images job to copy the software image file to the slave RSP processor. Because SWIM cannot update the configuration file on the slave RSP processor, choose Don’t touch config file > no reboot in the job created to upgrade the software on the slave RSP processor.
