Dear Sir,
I need to replace IOS in Cisco Catalyst 6505 core switch.
Ols scenario :
POY_MSFC2#dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/
1 -rw- 14827396 Jan 28 2009 20:39:27 +05:30 c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin
31981568 bytes total (17153916 bytes free)
POY_MSFC2#sh bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin,1
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x102
Now I need to replace this IOS with
c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8b.E6.bin
I have copied it in bootflash:.
Now scenario is :
POY_MSFC2#dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/
1 -rw- 14827396 Jan 28 2009 20:39:27 +05:30 c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin
2 -rw- 12269252 May 26 2009 13:53:13 +05:30 c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8b.E6.bin
31981568 bytes total (4884664 bytes free)
POY_MSFC2(config)#boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8b.E6.bin
POY_MSFC2#sh bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8b.E6.bin,1
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x102
Now presently older IOS is running. So I need to reload to use newer IOS.
I had reloaded MSFCs but new IOS was not used.Instead Older one is loaded and Bootvar is changed automatically like this :
POY_MSFC2#sh bootvar
BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin,12;bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8b.E6.bin,1
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x102
Now how to resolv it pls suggest ?
Should I del older IOS from Bootdisk: ?
Weather it will allow to del it as the same IOS is running?
Pls Reply Soon.

Hi Mahmood
Thanks for the reply.
Could you pls tell me how can I remove it?
Weather it will affect the running system as other Card on the same CORe switch is running and NW is working on that Card.
Pls reply soon
