Upgrade Spine-Leaf switch ACI to release 14.2(4i) procedure manually

 

1) scaricare la immagine aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.(4i).bin da un sito Cisco all’interno di un drive USB

 

2) collegare la USB allo switch Spine or Leaf oggetto dell’upgrade ed eseguire il copy file .bin nella /bootflash 

 

spine# copy usb/usb1/aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bin /bootflash/

 

3) Verificare che la nuova image sia inserita correttamente nella bootflash

 

spine# dir /bootflash/
CpuUsage.Log MemoryLog.65%usage aci-n9000-dk9.14.0.1h.bin aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bin auto-k auto-s diagbootup disklog.txt fanfaillog.txt libmon.logs lost+found lxc memlog.txt uribapi_log.txt

 

4) Verificare il corrente bootvariable per lo switch da aggiornare (verifica preventiva prima del nuovo upgrade)

 

spine# cat /mnt/cfg/0/boot/grub/menu.lst.local

 

#General Configuration

#disable certificate
#title bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.14.0.1h.bin
#boot bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.14.0.1h.bin

 

spine# cat /mnt/cfg/1/boot/grub/menu.lst.local

 

#General Configuration

#disable certificate
#title bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.14.0.1h.bin
#boot bootflash:aci-n9000-dk9.14.0.1h.bin

 

NOTA: come si evince il boot è ancora settato sulla versione software corrente e non quella nuova

 

Altro output al seguire dei comandi di verifica sopra:

 

# 0

#disable certificate

#timeout=8

#serial –unit=0 –speed=9600 –word=8  –stop=1  –parity=no

#terminal –timeout=8 serial console

boot auto-k

 

5) settare la nuova release aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bit per il boot variable switch da aggiornare con i seguenti comandi:

 

spine# clear-bootvars.sh
In progress
In progress
In progress

 

spine# setup-bootvars.sh aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bin
In progress
In progress

6) Riverificare la nuova variabile di boot

 

spine# cat /mnt/cfg/0/boot/grub/menu.lst.local
boot aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bin

 

spine# cat /mnt/cfg/1/boot/grub/menu.lst.local
boot aci-n9000-dk9.14.2.4i.bin

 

 6) Eseguire il reboot dello switch attraverso il seguente comando

 

spine#/usr/sbin/chassis-power-cycle.sh

Running INXOS PE IFC image
test sse call id 545
sw card id is 355

 

Lo switch prende un pò di tempo per la fase di power-off e restart.

 

7) Verificare la parte relativa a FPGA e BIOS attraverso il comando

 

spine#/bin/check-fpga.sh FpGaDoWnGrAdE

Current log for FPGA images installation:
Could not pull epld logs from plog
Do you want to flash the FPGAs? (yes or no)
yes
!!!WARNING!!!
Don’t touch/powercyle the box until the process is done
or else the box won’t be able to recover

8) Re-eseguire il “power-cycle” switch per la parte FPGA/EPLD e BIOS con la nuova versione attraverso il comando

 

spine#/usr/sbin/chassis-power-cycle.sh

 

 

9) Verificare lo show-version switch
