Cisco Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2 Release Notes

If your bootflash on the RP is still using MONLIB 2.x but the router is running Cisco IOS XR 
Software Release 3.2.0 or higher or MONLIB 3.0 with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.0.1, then 
you will get the following error during a ROMMON upgrade:

SP/0/0/SP:Oct 17 16:42:37.320 : rommon_burner[65584]: 
%PLATFORM-ROMMON_BURNER-3-FILE_OP_ERR : Opening ROMMON flash partition
failed: No such file or directory in function main at line 992

You need to upgrade the bootflash of that node to MONLIB 3.0 for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 
3.2.x and MONLIB 2.2 for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.0.1.  To do this, follow the MONLIB 
upgrade procedure, as follows:

Check which nodes are in need of upgrading by using the show diag | inc 
MONLIB|NODE|PLIM command. (In the example, Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.0 is 
being used.)

Look for nodes that do not list a MONLIB. The system cannot read outdated nodes and therefore 
must be reformatted. 

In this example, line card 2, route processor 1 and switch module 1 are in need of reformatting:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ROUTER# show diag | inc MONLIB|NODE|PLIM

NODE 0/0/SP : MSC(SP)
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
PLIM 0/0/CPU0 : 4OC192-POS/DPT
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
NODE 0/2/SP : MSC(SP)
PLIM 0/2/CPU0 : 8-10GbE
NODE 0/6/SP : MSC(SP)
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
PLIM 0/6/CPU0 : 16OC48-POS/DPT
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
NODE 0/RP0/CPU0 : RP
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
NODE 0/RP1/CPU0 : RP
NODE 0/SM0/SP : FC/S
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
NODE 0/SM1/SP : FC/S
NODE 0/SM2/SP : FC/S
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0
NODE 0/SM3/SP : FC/S
  MONLIB: QNXFFS Monlib Version 3.0

Reformat those nodes and repeat for all nodes that needs reformatting:

format bootflash: location node-id

Once the formatting is done return to the ROMMON upgrade procedure.
