Don't forget to remove any old boot variable statements, and set the new boot variable for both the sup, and supbootflash to be from he disk0: which is usually the location, assuming this is the location where you copied the image.

I tftp the image to flash.

disk0: and disk1: give me error.

how can I clean the old boot variavle statements?

Please advise.

You will want to take out the old bootstrings. Where did you TFTP the IOS on the switch? Your boot string needs to reflect it's location on the switch.

[Mark Yeates]

Please paste the boot strings you are inputting into the switch.

to flash

Here I see the right image in the sh run:

boot system flash

boot system flash:

boot system flash :

boot system flash s72033-pk9sv-mz.122-18.SXD7b.bin

logging snmp-authfail

but I still see this in the sh version:

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(18)SXF10, R

ELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

SXF10 is not the right one but: this one is below:

s72033-pk9sv-mz.122-18.SXD7b.bin

I don't kno wwhat else is there that I had not done!!??

You will need to format the disk0: and disk1: CFCards. This usually can take a few minutes for each card and will remove all files and any corrupted files on the disk. You may also have to perform a squeeze on the CFCards to reclaim any unused space.

Ok,

here is the new bootvar output showing my new image but the sho versiob still shows the old image:

bdr2-ash#sh bootvar

BOOT variable = ,1;flash:,12;:,1;s72033-pk9sv-mz.122-18.SXD7b.bin,1;

CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable =

Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is not present.

pls advise.

[Mark Yeates]

If you can please post your config, or just the parts with the bootstring. Below is an example of a working bootstrung.

6509-Core#sh bootvar

BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF13.bin,1;

CONFIG_FILE variable =

BOOTLDR variable =

Configuration register is 0x2102

[Mark Yeates]

your bootstring does not reflect the location of the IOS...ie flash:, disk0: etc

[m-abooali]

I am sure that I did specify! for some reason it just doesn't take it.

can you please send me the command so that I insert it again and see what happens. I might have missed something for sure!

Also see the attachment posted by mbroberson1.

That is a great explanation of how to upgrade an IOS on a 6500.

[m-abooali]

I did read that and thanks.

I executed the commands remotely and reloaded the switch but it has not come back up. it's now 10 minutes!

pls advise.
