Cisco Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2

Before performing an upgrade, perform the following pre-upgrade checks on the 
Cisco XR 12000 Series Router:

Verify system stability through commands described in 

.

Back up running-config prior to upgrade (this is required in case the upgrade is rolled back to 3.2.0 
software):

RP/0/0/CPU0:router# copy running-config tftp://host/dir/filename

Run the following command and note the latest rollback point available before performing the upgrade.

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# show install rollback ?

Verify that all applicable mandatory SMUs are active on the router. Optional packages and SMUs can 
also be active on the system. If any of the mandatory SMUs are not active then they must be activated 
before proceeding with the upgrade.

 

Use the following procedure to upgrade the Cisco IOS XR software from Release 3.0.1 to Release 3.2.2 
on Cisco XR 12000 Series Router:

Add the required PIE files to disk:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# install add <device or tftp/ftp/rcp>/PIE_file_name to disk0: 
sync

Step 1 must be repeated for each of the PIE files listed in 

 or all of the PIE 

files can be added together in a single install add command. To add all PIE files using a single command, 
list all of the PIE files (including their source) within the install add command in the following manner:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# install add <device or tftp/ftp/rcp>/c12k-mini.pie-3.2.2 <device 
or tftp/ftp/rcp>/c12k-mcast.pie-3.2.2 <device or tftp/ftp/rcp>/c12k-mgbl.pie-3.2.2 <device 
or tftp/ftp/rcp>/c12k-mpls.pie-3.2.2 <device or tftp/ftp/rcp>/c12k-k9sec.pie-3.2.2 to 
disk0: sync

The use of sync option prevents the user from issuing any other command while the installation is in 
process.

Activate all of the added packages together:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(admin)# install activate disk0:package_name_or_alias> 
disk0:package_name_or_alias> <..> sync
