Software Modularity / Ciscoworks LMS 2.5.1

Does or will Ciscoworks - RME be able to patch 6500s that are using software modularity?

Can you explain in a bit more detail what you wish to accomplish?

software modularity? Not quite clear to me.

Cheers,

I think the reference is to

Cisco IOS Software Modularity for 6500 platform

Can CiscoWorks upgrade the modular software sub-systems of the 6500 running Modularity IOS.

Exactly. Thanks! A much better explanation of what I was asking.

Sorry, let me explain myself a bit further. In RME, you currently can upgrade IOS based imaged switches using the software upgrade feature in ciscoworks.

I'm at the Networkers conference this week. So I've recently learned more about software modularity being introduced onto the 6500 architecture. This allows you to do patching on a switch to update it rather than applying a new image and then rebooting the switch to upgrade.

So my question is, does Ciscoworks support software modularity in terms of being able to patch/rollback an update? If not, will there be plans to?

Thanks,

Dave
