CISCO 8000 – How to install SMU under XR7

2024-02-08 | No comments

Prerequisites

I have several posts regarding CISCO 8000 software installation shown below:

The most important is to understand how to use a local repository or remote repository.

This article also applies to other products using XR7, such as some NCS540.

SMU install (Use local repository)

Copy all SMU file to the local folder, in this case, i create a folder named “repo” under harddisk:

[node0_RP0_CPU0:/harddisk:/repo]$ls
8000-7.3.15.CSCvw58830.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy35867.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx48017.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy42027.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx50864.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy43997.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx68887.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy52710.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx76463.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy53516.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx84404.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy55726.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx99992.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy61939.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy06576.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy66996.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy12145.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy67283.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy14896.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy72415.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy16526.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy73299.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy16725.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvy77182.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy17864.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvz04661.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy24941.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvz25325.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy26732.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvz45349.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy33251.tar  8000-7.3.15.CSCvz67583.tar
8000-7.3.15.CSCvy33657.tar

then try unzip all the smu file buy use two simple shell script:

[node0_RP0_CPU0:/harddisk:/repo]$for tar in *.tar; do tar -xvf $tar; done
8000-7.3.15.CSCvw58830.txt
8000-x86_64-7.3.15-CSCvw58830.tgz
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx48017.txt
8000-x86_64-7.3.15-CSCvx48017.tgz
8000-7.3.15.CSCvx50864.txt
8000-x86_64-7.3.15-CSCvx50864.tgz

[node0_RP0_CPU0:/harddisk:/repo]$for tar in *.tgz; do tar -xvf $tar; done
8000-x86_64-7.3.15-CSCvw58830/

8000-x86_64-7.3.15-CSCvw58830/xr-rpl-7.3.15v1.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Config the local repository with the path “file:///harddisk:/repo/”

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:8201-01#conf 
Thu Oct  7 06:36:45.111 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:8201-01(config)#

Thu Oct  7 06:38:04.997 UTC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:8201-01(config-repository)#

We have two command to check the SMU in the local repository:

We have there way to install the smu we want:

install package add cisco-CSCab12345install a special SMU
install package upgrade xr-coreinstall cups of smu to fix special component
install package upgradeinstall all the smu under your repository

Here is an example to install all the smu under repository:

SMU apply and commit

after install, use “install apply” to active the SMU , this action may need reload the router.

A Simple EEM to Collect log Trigger by Syslog in IOX

2024-02-02 | No comments

Background

In 64-bit XR system, we have a easy way to monitor syslog and trigger a collection action. (EDCD + PAM EEM agent)

In 32-bit XR system, we may only can use the EEM script.

But the EEM script is hard for us to write. there are cups of articles that show some examples, we can reference and do some modify.
